Hi. At least since 2.4.17-pre4 and -pre5 devfs is not handling permissions in the right way with ALSA:
rene@jackson:/dev > l dsp sound/dsp ls: sound/dsp: Permission denied lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 9 Dec 7 00:14 dsp -> sound/dsp rene@jackson:/dev > cd sound/ bash: cd: sound/: Permission denied rene@jackson:/dev > rene@jackson:/dev > l snd ls: snd/..: Permission denied ls: snd/.: Permission denied ls: snd/controlC0: Permission denied ls: snd/controlC1: Permission denied ls: snd/timer: Permission denied ls: snd/midiC0D0: Permission denied ls: snd/pcmC0D2p: Permission denied ls: snd/pcmC0D1c: Permission denied ls: snd/pcmC0D0p: Permission denied ls: snd/pcmC0D0c: Permission denied ls: snd/midiC1D0: Permission denied ls: snd/pcmC1D0p: Permission denied ls: snd/pcmC1D0c: Permission denied total 0 They all have 666 (or 777 for dirs)! It is possible to this as root. Also loading the modules gives me: Dec 7 00:31:58 jackson kernel: devfs: devfs_register(unknown): could not append to parent, err: -17 k33p h4ck1n6 René -- René Rebe (Registered Linux user: #248718 <http://counter.li.org>) eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.tfh-berlin.de/~s712059/index.html Anyone sending unwanted advertising e-mail to this address will be charged $25 for network traffic and computing time.
