Interesting, because of the ACL settings I didn't need to use root nor join the kvm group: $ getfacl /dev/kvm getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: dev/kvm # owner: root # group: kvm user::rw- user:jroth:rw- group::rw- mask::rw- other::--- I hope these ACLs are used sparingly in Devuan/Debian. The permissions model itself has taken a long time for me to grok. Hmm, so why do files like /etc/apt/sources.list have ACLs? Oh, I see they change automagically when permissions change. Guess I'll look for a tutorial somewheres. I'd thought ACL was something I could ignore, like selinux, without consequence. I think of the analogy with the suprise nay frustration I faced when settings in /etc/someapp not working as expected because of stuff in /etc/default/someapp I hadn't known about. cheers, Joel > HND > > KatolaZ > > -- > [ Enzo Nicosia aka KatolaZ --- GLUG Catania -- Freaknet Medialab ] > [ me [at] katolaz.homeunix.net -- http://katolaz.homeunix.net -- ] > [ GNU/Linux User:#325780/ICQ UIN: #258332181/GPG key ID 0B5F062F ] > [ Fingerprint: 8E59 D6AA 445E FDB4 A153 3D5A 5F20 B3AE 0B5F 062F ] -- Joel Roth _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
