You can do the same thing in linux via KDE. Open Konqueror, file://dev, right click dsp, select Properties, click Permissions, choose your access. Now, if you say a normal user should be able to chmod (however) /dev/dsp, /etc/passwd, etc, I'll fight that statement to the grave. It's windows default security/permission model that makes the OS as insecure as it is. -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org, Minnesota, Linux | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = AB15 0BDF BCDE 4369 5B42 1973 7CF1 A709 2CC1 B288 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
