Re: Quick/Easy 2.0 Question: Installed permissions for /dev/dsp, /dev/audio are ...?



*-Ken Westerback <krw@tcn.net>
|
| Late at night after a hard day fiddling with getting my Debian 2.0
| installation working I was working on RealAudio and got so frustrated
| with problems accessing /dev/dsp and /dev/audio that I changed their
| permissions with 
| 
| chmod 622 /dev/dsp
| chmod 622 /dev/audio
| 
| thus allowing everyone (my normal uid included) to write to them. And
| RealAudio worked so I was happy and went to bed.
| 
| In the cold light of morning I realized (after reading some more) that
| what I really should have done was
| 
| adduser krw audio
| 
| Now I have done this (adduser ...) and I would like to change the
| permissions on /dev/dsp and /dev/audio back to what they were.
| 
| Can someone take a quick look at their Debian 2.0 installation and tell
| me what the permissions are after installation? Thanks.

They are both crw-rw----

Hint: '/dev/MAKEDEV audio' would fix it...
