Using Fedora Core 6, I have the following entry in /etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms: <console> 0666 <sound> 0666 root And my /dev/dsp looks like this: <console> 0666 <sound> 0666 root Yet, when I go to play a sound from a terminal I get a message saying to check & make sure the sound card is configured correctly. If nobody is logged in on the server then it works as it should. What am I missing? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
