Whenever I reboot my Mandrake 6.0 system, the permissions on several
important files change from 666 to 600 so that other users are unable to
use them.  Each time I reboot, I have to change them back.

This matters cause it happens to files in my /dev/ heirarchy, notably
/dev/audio and /dev/dsp.  So my wife logs in after I, and tries to use the
sound player, to no avail, since I am the owner of the files and they are
both mode 600.

First, I'd like to know how to solve this so it doesn't keep happening.  
Second, I'd like to know what's causing it...

Any help at all?  I asked this in the newbie forum, but nobody really had
an answer, and searching the archives comes to no avail.  Surely I'm not
the only multi-user system that uses audio...?

Later,
 David
