https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D260489 Bug ID: 260489 Summary: Permissions on audio and midi devices Product: Base System Version: Unspecified Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: meka@tilda.center To give just an example, /dev/umidi* have 644 perms, which means I can read MIDI in, but not write to MIDI out. I spent hours trying to identify faulty cable only to realize it's the device file that doesn't have proper permissions. My suggestion is to either have audio group with rw permission= s on dsp, midi and umidi devices or to adjust permissions on those devices so everyone can read and write. I slightly prefer dedicated audio group as that way I can limit who has access to audio hardware. I am posting here for a discussion and whatever we decide, I'll be glad to implement. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
