this devfs thing is really starting to hack me off, i see no reason why the 'first' user to log on locally gets to be 'king of audio'. if i try to avoid using devfs will this behaviour change? i thought groups were the way to handle this sort of thing, but my ability to customise my machine is being removed by automation that requires actual coding skills to get around limitations it's introducing 'to make things easier' i think mandrake should stop and consider the few folk for whom auto mountpoint creation for usb/removable devices is a pita and permissions getting set whether you like it or not, are not helpful, and allow us to opt out easily
thanks for the info, i won't of course be doing anything about this now, i'll be too busy learning perl just to be able to understand what happens when i plug in my camera - let alone change it! (i don't think) can you tell i'm annoyed? bascule On Wednesday 23 Oct 2002 9:53 pm, Mikko Lipasti wrote: > Hi, > > When you logged in on display 0, the system (pam -> devfsd, if I recall > correctly) set you to be the owner of /dev/dsp (actually /dev/sound/dsp, > /dev/dsp is a symlink to that), hence the Permission Denied.
