I know why but I dunno how to fix ... the fifo isn't a symlink, I tried to
change the location of the fifo, maybe is filesystem related ? I tried on
ext2 and reiserfs, I tried running ser as root and as nobody, but I got
the same issue :) so ... what you suggest ?? I need serctl work quickly so
maybe the best solution is to patch ser sources .. but I whould like to
know why eheh ...
