Hi, 

        Decided to play with my webcam today for a few.  There seems to be
a problem with permissions.

[root@localhost dev]# ls -l vid*
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           10 Feb 23 13:19 video -> v4l/video0
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           10 Feb 23 13:19 video0 -> v4l/video0
[root@localhost dev]# cd /v4l
bash: cd: /v4l: No such file or directory
[root@localhost dev]# cd v4l
[root@localhost v4l]# ls -l
total 0
crw-------    1 meyerv   sys       81,   0 Dec 31  1969 video0


This is a problem when using w3cam, as Apache is not running as
meyerv - so permission denied.

V.
