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/ -- Gerd Truschinski | Yes, this is the sort of scenario I gt@freebsd.first.gmd.de | think up to amuse myself in the evenings. agni@zedat.fu-berlin.de | -- with confirmation from Larisa To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
