ftape denies tob permission



Hallo,

I have installed an Iomega Ditto 2G-drive and have compiled
ftape-3.04-beta-5 and completed the suggested tests successfully.

When I want to use tob (as root), however, I get the message

/sbin/tob: /dev/ftape: Permission denied.

The same happens when I try to use /dev/nqft0 in the place of /dev/ftape.
The permissions are as follows:

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        19514 May 28  1996 /sbin/tob*
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root      27,   0 Oct 20 19:27 /dev/ftape
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root      27,   0 Oct 20 19:27 /dev/nqft0

How can I correct that?


Johann.
