That's done by your distribution. I guess it's done with PAM. Check your distribution's manuals for this keyword. I'm pretty sure you can change the setup so everytime you login you /dev/sg1 gets the right permissions. > 2) What is the difference between 0777 and 0666 ls -l /dev/sg1 should show the result.

That's for the Debian distribution. > 2) Neither modutils directory nor the file 'aliases' exist Put the options line in /etc/modules.conf instead. And place "modprobe aha152x" somewhere in the boot scrips, e.g. /etc/init.d/boot.local if it exists. > Edit /etc/modules.conf adding a line at the bottom > > alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc > alias eth0 8139too > alias eth1 8139too > alias sound-slot-0 ymfpci > post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L > >/dev/null 2>&1 || : > pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S > >/dev/null 2>&1 || : > alias usb-controller usb-uhci > /sbin/insmod aha152x aha152x=0x140,9,7,0 No! /etc/modules.conf is not a shell script. man modules.conf. Put the options line in this file. Now you don't need to give the options everytime you call modprobe aha152x. Bye, Henning
