I noticed that after a boot, my /dev/dsp* and /dev/audio* are owned by
sds.root and have permissions 600 (crw-------).
this is
1. strange: why are these files owned by _me_ and not root?
2. inconvenient: mpg123 &c are not suid root,
so my wife cannot use audio.
For now, I added
chown root.root /dev/dsp* /dev/audio*
chmod a+rw /dev/dsp* /dev/audio*
to /etc/rc.local, but I wonder whether this is TRT.
BTW, how do I prevent console screen clearing after boot right before
the login prompt appears?
Or better yet, where are the boot messages (not the kernel ones,
accessible with dmesg(1), but the init(1) ones)?
thanks.
