Hi,
I'm not 100% sure of this, but I think linuxconf is doing this at boot
time. It keeps a list of certain files for which it will verify the
permissions. You could try going into linuxconf and telling it that
you want the permissions on /dev/audio and /dev/dsp to be 666.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you the exact menu sequence to traverse
since I don't currently have access to my Mandrake machine.
Look for a menu item with "file permissions" in the description.
Can anyone confirm that it is linuxconf doing this or whether I'm
giving totally bogus advice?
