I'm trying to make /dev/fd0, /dev/acd0 and other devices accessible by users, and I want to use the chmod way (as described in the sysadmin FAQ). I used the command chmod 777 /dev/fd0 and it didn't worked. Another thing: The standard permissions on the files are 640, no execution, but the faq (or somewhere else, I don't remember) says that the x byte must be set in order to mount any devices... Who's right? And: can't I just set the permissions to 770, so the su-capable users would access the devices, and other wouldn't? thnx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
