keeping permissions on /dev/dsp

KingMoffa · 10-02-2003, 11:29 AM

Hello all,

when restarting or logging into Red Hat 9 ( and i think 7.3 as well)

i lose my permission settings on /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer

can anyone think of a way to stop this?

thankyou

Ownage of devices in PAM-aware distrs is AFAIK handled in /etc/security/console.perms. If you login, and you're the first one, devices get chowned to your loginname. When you log out they get chowned back to defaults.

thankyou!!

So , If I comment out the lines relating to the sound devices all should be good.

This solution works when users log on and off.

However , upon rebooting the machine the permissions are reset back.

Any more suggesstions would be appreciated.

still not found anything.

Can anyone shed any light on my problem????

I have to be able to turn my computer off, the constant whirling of fans makes it impossible to sleep.

I am to lazy to reset permissions everyday. Perhaps a script run at start up could help???

hell, since today I have the same problem. owner is root, group is audio, and after every reboot, the group hasn't got +RW right on /dev/sound/*

i guess i have fixed it..

change the entry
<console> 0600 <sound> 0600 root.audio
to
<console> 0660 <sound> 0660 root.audio

in /etc/security/console.perms
replace audio with sys if you want the group to be sys.
