    Hi

    I started to move some of my machines from 4.x to 5.3.

    Using amanda (www.amanda.org) for backups I ran into a problem:

    The user operator is used by amanda for all stuff, for example
    questioning /dev/ch0 to change the tape.

    5.3: ls -la /dev/ch0
    crw------- 1 root operator 232, 0 Nov 30 14:35 /dev/ch0

    While using 4.x I just did chmod g+rw /dev/ch0 during installation
    of amanda and everything was fine, now rebooting a 5.3 machine
    everything is not fine as the additional rights are gone...

    Is there a way to grant additional rights surviving reboots?
    I can write a little script for /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ but I do not think
    that would be very cute :-(

    Regards
         Andreas
