Linux file permissions problems
 

I'm having some difficulty running a program that is suppose to initialize my hardware. This driver was installed as root and when a user calls the initialize function from a user account, the program is able to run but, when this program calls the executable /sbin/insmod I get the following error:

insmod: "error inserting 'filename' " - Operation not permitted

But, when I run the same program as a root everything works fine.

What do I need to change to fix the problem?

The best solution would be to run the initialization program at boot.

How do I run it at boot up?

Please add your distro to your profile, as this can affect the answer to qns like this.
