Since he said world readable specifically I'd venture a guess that this isn't a private desktop system. Especially since I know the party has been working on setting up diskless systems on 5.x. Either way, I stand by my opinion that this is better suited by using a devfs rule than the blanket add-the-user-to-operator. -- Ryan Sommers ryans@gamersimpact.com
