virtualbox with wrong permissions ?
Dear maintainers,
First of all: forget about my previous mail about virtualbox, this was sent by
an error. Sorry for taht ! Now to the correct one:
I suppose, virtualbox has got the wrong permissions.
Please correct me, if I am wrong:
Whenever I start "virtualbox" as a normal user, it failed due to wrong
permissions. I examined the reason, and found out that "/dev/vboxdrv" has
gote the permissions rw-rw--- with owner "root" and group "root".
IMO it should be owner "root" and group "vboxusers", and the user should be
aded to group "vboxusers". As this device is created by udev, there should be
added a rule in "91-permission.rules" of udev, such like
KERNEL=="something" GROUP=="vboxusers"
or
SUBSYSTEM=="something" GROUP=="vboxusers"
(do not know, which one is the right one)
Otherwise, in case it might be wished by the mainatainers, that owner and
group are set "root", so this is no bug at all.
If not, I will report it to bugreport. I will be happy of a response.
Cheers
Hans
