adding this line to /etc/udev/permissions.rules (on a debian system) KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", MODE="0664", GROUP="games" should give you rw-rw-r permissions (and the group will be set to "games") choose your own group and mode. this is something you i have guessed by just looking at the /etc/udev/ directory and the contents of some files therein. i do not doubt that there is lot of information available in the net. mfgadr IOhannes _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
