The usual hack is either chmod 666 all the devices, or chmod 660 root:audio, and add all your local users to the audio group (see the group(5) man page). If you can't figure it out, find a HOWTO on Unix permissions from http://tldp.org/. The correct solution lies with correct configuration of PAM. It should be possible to configure KDM to add local users to the audio group automatically when they log in via the console. But try the hack first :-). Ask your distribution vendor why this isn't the default configuration, it really should be. -- Sam Vilain, [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have never left my schooling interfere with my education.
