Description Scott J Garner 2002-04-22 21:04:17 UTC
After each update of baselayout, I have to modify /etc/devfsd.conf to add:

REGISTER    v4l/.*       PERMISSIONS root.video 660

It seems reasonable to me that this should be included like:

REGISTER        sound/.*     PERMISSIONS root.audio 660
REGISTER        snd/.*       PERMISSIONS root.audio 660

Dont update /etc/devfsd.conf, but just rm its ._cfg0000_devfsd.conf ? :P

Ill add a fix later on.
