Hi there,
I am running current from around 11. May.
I try to open /dev/io as user 'dose.wheel' with the following permissions:
crw-rw---- 1 dose wheel 2, 14 Mar 24 13:14 /dev/io
but get always 'Operation not permitted' errors. I must be root.
Is the man page to old or did I miss something?
The entire access control is handled by the file access permissions of
/dev/io, so care should be taken in granting rights for this device.
Note that even read/only access will grant the full I/O privileges.
BTW. FreeBSD.ORG is not reachable from 160.45.2.xxx. Who is the
person I could ask about this problem?
/gT/
