Ok, I am in a right pickle now. I can't even run irw as a normal user, I
have to run it as root.
Really confused over the permission thing.
At the moment /dev/lircd, /dev/lirc0 all have 666 permissions, all have
owner as root.root /usr/local/sbin/lircd has 777 permissions owner
root.root...
When I try to run lircd as a normal user, I get this error:
lircd -d /dev/lirc0
lircd: can't open or create /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid
lircd: Permission denied
I have set /var/run/lirc and /var/run/lirc/lircd to 666 permissions as well.
Do I have to set all the above programes to user root.myuser as well?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Bernie
