Hi Michael,
My system has two identical files in /etc/udev/rules.d:
10-vboxdrv.rules
60-vboxdrv.rules
containing:
KERNEL=="vboxdrv", NAME="vboxdrv", OWNER="root", GROUP="root", MODE="0600"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GROUP="root", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", GROUP="root", MODE="0664"
This may be the problem! I use the "All distributions" package, the most
recent one is:
VirtualBox-2.1.4-42893-Linux_amd64.run
I wonder if the "GROUP="vboxusers"" field is wrong in this distribution.
I haven't looked at the rpm versions, but I bet you that they're OK.
Regards,
Lew
