Hi,
This is a common problem even with 6.l. I think it may have to
do with the SETUID bit. But, I don't understand those types of
permissions too well. Could someone give an elaborate overview
on the
'?' in chmod ?nnn /dev/dsp /dev/mixer
For example what would chmod 7600 /dev/dsp do? What do they mean
by the 'sticky bit (1)', 'SETGID(2)', 'SETUID(4)', and etc.
What happens when you add the permissions up? Does the 'sticky
bit' involve toffee or molasses?
hehehe,
L.G.
