(extra) - Local "root" access

2007-12-25 7:56:00

Further to my SUMMARY of yesterday, a number of sun-managers have

suggested changing the permissions on the DECstation disk partitions

to resemble those on the SUNs:-

brw------- 1 root system 21, 0 Sep 2 11:20 rz0a

chgrp operator /dev/rz*

chmod g+r /dev/rz*

As the "system" group (on the DECs) doesn't have any access to the

device anyway, hopefully this won't break anything.

We would generally "prefer" not to tamper with the as installed

permissions, but with a little investigation this may help to solve

the problem.

Further thanks to:
