Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I modified the /etc/security/console.perms file like so:
<console> 0660 <dri> 0660 root.games <xconsole> 0660 /dev/console 0660 root.wheel <xconsole> 0660 <dri> 0660 root.games Notice the entry for dri under "console" without the "x". Before I did this, for some reason, the group permission wasn't getting set (I was getting 0600 even though I wrote 0660). You need to add yourself to the games group, of course. -- Stephen On Thursday 18 October 2001 07:23 pm, you wrote: > I'm not sure this is connected but what security level did you choose when > you installed mandrake 8.1?
