/dev 5.3 vs 4.x, additional rights for user, reboot
Hi I started to move some of my machines from 4.x to 5.3. Using amanda (www.amanda.org) for backups I ran into a problem: The user operator is used by amanda for all stuff, for example questioning /dev/ch0 to change the tape. 5.3: ls -la /dev/ch0 crw--- 1 root operator 232, 0 Nov 30 14:35 /dev/ch0 While using 4.x I just did chmod g+rw /dev/ch0 during installation of amanda and everything was fine, now rebooting a 5.3 machine everything is not fine as the additional rights are gone... Is there a way to grant additional rights surviving reboots? I can write a little script for /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ but I do not think that would be very cute :-( Regards Andreas Verschicken Sie romantische, coole und witzige Bilder per SMS!
