Nope; that's why I said "I think". But I do recall being told that devices (and permissions) are not set on the devices nodes, when using devfs; they are dynamically set by devfs at boot. Specifically, I recall seeing mention in the ALSA faq that you must set permissions on the /dev/sequencer device (for one) in the devfsd.conf file if you are using devfs, or use chmod on the /dev/dsp if not using devfs. So I wondered if the same logic would apply here, since he is using devfs. > > I *think* you need to modify the devfsconf file, or whatever the > config file > > name is. > > > > Well, go ahead then. I presume you mean /etc/devfsd.conf Actually, I wasn't the one asking how to change the permissions.
