Public bug reported:
After upgrading a working IBM Thinkpad Z61m from 7.10 to 8.04 i can no
longer get the hard disk drive temperature as a non root user
ls -l /dev/sda
brwxrwxrwx 1 root disk 8, 0 2008-05-08 14:26 /dev/sda
because I've obviously responded to the permission denied error in the
appropriate way chmoding 777 - not
/usr/sbin/hddtemp -n /dev/sda
if I'm me and non root user
/dev/sda: Permission denied
oh really, not my understanding of 0777
45
if I've su'd to root first
i guess after "upgrading" to horribly hopeless I just don't known Unix
any more
