-> raw1394 is either mode 600, either mode 666. Since raw1394 will be
used mostly by home users for camcorders connected through FireWire
cables, mode 666 would be better for ease of use (otherwise you get a
"cannot get handle" message which is not very explicit). For security,
you might prefer mode 600 however (because some people *might* connect
FireWire harddrives, and could write to them through raw1394 as a simple
user -- no big deal since such harddrives are very expensive and very
uncommon too =)).
-> video1394 should be 666
They should be owned by root:root.

Ok... I think Lenny will update the libraw1394 package faster than me,
though (if he has enough time).
Anyway, thanks for the answer, Chmouel, I hardly believe it. I thought
this message was dead. You're great.
