+In order to use a program that makes use of rxtx, you must be a member
+of the groups:
+ * uucp: for access to hardware devices in /dev
+ * lock: for access to hardware lockfiles in /var/lock/lockdev
+
+Most documentation indicates that you must be in one or the other,
+depending on your distro; you must actually be in both.
