 Posted: Sun May 30, 2004 1:55 pm Post subject: Device permissions |
 |
|
Hello,
I am running a Gentoo 2004.1 with a 2.4 kernel (there's a propietary module I need and it's only for 2.4 kernels) and scsi-emulation activated to burn my CDs and DVDs.
I used to use grip to rip my CDA to OGG. When using scsi emulation it seems the user who executes grip must have access to the generic device (sgX) instead of the cdrom device (srX).
It seems I don't have the permissions set and I do not know how to do it. Here's the ls of the devices:
| Code: |
brw------- 1 enzo cdrom 11, 1 1 gen 1970 cd
crw-r----- 1 root root 21, 2 1 gen 1970 generic
|
My user (enzo) has access to the 'cd' device and I need to set it to have access to the 'generic' device. Any help on how to do it?
Many thanks.

This will work until rebooting the system. After a reboot the permissions are the same as before.

Have a look inside the /etc/devfsd.conf file... it contains a commented out line that will apply the correct permissions.
To get it working, i think you might have to delete the file and then killall -s HUP devfsd, but just HUP'ing devfsd might solve the problem. Sorry if that doesnt make sense, just post back and ill help you out
