No I haven't found the cause fro the Internet Explorer like behavior
:-) yet but another problem has cropped up on my Mandrake installation.
When I log into KDE, the owner and permissions of a host of files in
/dev/are changed. All of the file related to sound (dsp, mixer,
audio, etc) are changed to be owned by me. Also all of the cdrom
and floppy descriptors get the owner and permissions changed as well.
OK, I log out and su to root. I change the owners of the files back to
root and set the permissions to 666. On my RH 5.2 with KDE 1.1.1
install this works fine and lets every user access the sound cards.
When I log back into KDE as a normal user, the ownership is changed and
the file permissions are reset to 600.
I could live with (but not like) the change of ownership but goddammit,
the change in permissions means my wife cannot use the sounds system if
I log in before she does. If she logs in first, she grabs the files and
I am locked out from using sound. What the hell is happening here? Is
this a Mandrake problem (it doesn't happen on my Redhat 5.2 system) or a
KDE problem? More importantly: can it be fixed?
