My user is in the video group in both /etc/group and /etc/gshadow, and the devices have the following permissions:

kenobi dev # ls -l video* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root video 6 Jan 17 11:16 video -> video0
crw-rw----  1 root video 81,  0 Jul 26 13:12 video0
crw-rw----  1 root video 81,  1 Jul 26 13:12 video1
[snipped]


Remember that you can't just edit the files for this to
take effect. You have to re-login.

Do an "id" to see if you're in the groups. Then log out
and log back in and re-do the "id".

Boy, wouldn't it be nice if it were as simple as that?
Somehow, I doubt it.


Alan
