Hello there, When I log in as a user all of the audio-related devices get their owners changed to the currently logged-in user.
So, what happens is that if I log in under my user name (let's say "irwink") then the devices /dev/audio*, /dev/dsp*, /dev/sequencer*, etc. get chowned to "irwink". If I log out and log in under a different name, then the devices are set under the new login name. If I don't log out, and instead log in on another tty with a new user name, then the /dev/audio* doesn't change, and is still chowned to the first person logged into the machine. Originally what I had set up was a group named "audio" and I chgrped all of the audio devices to that group, and all users that I allowed to play sound would be a part of that group. However, if I log out and log back in everything gets changed back t othe way it originally was. This is very annoying because sometimes I use multiple TTY's that must play sound effects. So I have to manually chgrp and chmod all of the audio devices. Does anyone know what might set the owners on login? I run: Alsa 0.9rc1 on a Linux 2.4.18 kernel. Red hat 7.2 I installed the alsasound init.d script. I couldn't find anything in /etc/profile or /etc/bashrc that might look like it's changing permissions. I'm wondering if anyone might know about this and where all of these devices' owners are set on logging in. I presume it's something run before startup as root (or suid root) because only root would have permissions to change the owners of the devices to anyone who logs in.
