Package: libpam-devperm
Version: 1.5-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
I just tested the libpam-devperm package, and it seem to work just
fine. But the /dev/dsp device now used for audio is not in the list
of devices to update, so KDE do not get access to its sound device. I
guess it used to be a symlink with devfs, but now it is a real device
I applied this patch to fix it:

With this patch in place, the device got correct permissions when
logging in as my test user:
# ls -l /dev/dsp
crw--- 1 test audio 14, 3 2006-10-16 15:20 /dev/dsp
#
Please update the package with this fix, to make it usable out of the
box. The only other change I did to enable it was to edit
/etc/pam.d/common-session, adding pam_devperm to get this content:
session required pam_unix.so
session required pam_devperm.so
I did not have to edit /etc/login.defs to enable CLOSE_SESSIONS. The
README.Debian file claim that this is required, but the file itself
claim that the setting is obsolete, so I left it untouched. It worked
just fine without enabling CLOSE_SESSIONS, so I guess the
README.Debian content should be changed.
Friendly,
