I do not think so - I think it depends on the permissions of the wvdial.conf, as
[from the man-page of wvdialconf]
It is safe to run wvdialconf if a configuration file already exists. In that case, only the
Modem, Baud, Init, and Init2 options are changed in the [Dialer Defaults] section, and only if
autodetection is successful.
and
root@wnerie /etc# ls -l wvdial.conf
-rw------- 1 root root 300 Aug 2 02:08 /etc/wvdial.conf
root@wnerie /etc# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
[...snipp...]
root@wnerie /etc# ls -l wvdial.conf
-rw------- 1 root root 300 Aug 2 02:10 wvdial.conf
If the file does not exist, the permissions of the file created are 600
root@wnerie /# wvdialconf /tmp/testbuq
[...snipp...]
root@wnerie /tmp# ls -al testbuq
-rw------- 1 root root 205 Aug 2 02:07 testbuq
root@wnerie /tmp# cat testbuq
[ Tested on Redhat 6.0, 2.2.19, WvDial 1.41 ]
