I was thinking about what I did with the sound devices. That would be a security hole would it not? The devices are owned by root and the group is sys and I am giving read and write privileges to the world. How should those devices be modified?
Is it possible to have the /dev/mixer and /dev/dsp as the user and it's group? That would mean that they would be created on demand. How?
