Hi Daemons,
I wonder whats wrong there:
I need to change the permissions from
/dev/speaker 600 to /dev/speaker 666
--all works ok.
Then I reboot the computer and the permissions of the file is back to 600.
How to make it permanent? Is is normal that /dev files do what they
want?
Yes :)
The /dev filesystem is dynamic, it is recreated at every boot. For your
setting to persist, enter it in /etc/devfs.conf
The examples in there will help you out, although probably this is the
line you need:
perm speaker 0666
One important caveat; /etc/devfs.conf works only for devices that are
available at boot time. For devices that are created during runtime, like
e.g. usb devices, you have to use /etc/devfs.rules instead. The format of both
files is explained in their respective manual pages.
