Steve,
Thanks once again for your help. (It's not the first time. :-)
One thing, though. I haven't changed this myself. This must have been like
this since the initial installation of RH6.
Is this a known 'glitch' in the RH6.0 installation or has something odd
happened to my system?
Regards
Gustav
P.S. I think a *small* light went up. All this stuff that 'in UNIX,
everything is a file' can also be seen as that a device is a (virtual)
file, right? As such, you can set permisions on it.
