Product: devfsd
Component: devfsd
Summary: /dev/dsp not accessable to non-root user after console
root login
Product: devfsd
Version: 1.3.25-32mdk
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: devfsd

ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
After booting, if I login as non-root user, then I can play sound just fine
since /dev/dsp allows write access.
However, if after boot, I login as root from the console, logout and then
login as non-root user, I can't even start aumix since permission to open
/dev/dsp is denied.
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 9 Aug 30 17:51 /dev/dsp -> sound/dsp
To fix this, I ran as root "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sound stop" which did not unload
the sound driver !? I had to run "modprobe -vr" to unload the sound modules
and then run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sound start" to reload them. Thereafter,
non-root user could run aumix and play sound. However, the permissions of
/dev/dsp remained the same. So what is preventing a non-root user from
accessing /dev/dsp ?
