I just discovered that something has caused many device files (many of them audio) have ended up with the wrong ownership/permission. (My daughter's account had ownership.) I fixed some, but I have no idea what's the right permissions. Is there some way I can check the permissions? Ideally, there would be a script that would report which device files are not set to the default. (I've changed some, like the cdrom and floppy, intentionally.)
The script that creates the device files is called MAKEDEV. I don't know what distro you have, but check your CD (or web site) for the script. You may find that it was left in the /dev directory, and all you need to do is execute it. If you use devfs, the devices are created at boot time. --Skip
