[ts-7000] usb/serial port permissions

I'm playing with the TS-7553, using the full Lenny Linux. I have a program 
which reads/writes from /dev/ttyUSB0. Works great as root, but not when I try 
to make queries from apache, because the default permissions of /dev/ttyUSB0 
are 

crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 May 17 22:01 /dev/ttyUSB0

What's the best way to get access to this? I can chmod it to 666, but as soon 
as I reboot it comes back as 660. Should I be trying to figure out udev (this 
looks complicated to say the least) or perhaps add nobody (what the php script 
likely runs under from apache) as a member of the dialout group (that seems, 
er, dangerous).

Is there another better way?
