Device permissions
in [FreeBSD]

Prev: packages won't install, want perl 5.8 instead of perl 5.10?
Next: FreeBSD 8.0, Xorg 7.4 and Intel core i3 cpu with integrated graphics - which driver?
From: tim1948 on 9 Apr 2010 23:13 Well, let's give it another try. Suppose I want to explicitly give a non-root user permission to use the Webcam, in devfs.conf. It seems to me that it might be perm. video0. 0666 Or should it be pwc0, to represent the driver? I have one application that runs only as root, so maybe I'm onto something.

It should be whatever the device node shows up as. Also you shouldn't use devfs.conf, because that's applied only once during boot. The recommended way to set device access permissions is the /etc/devfs.rules file, which also works for devices added at runtime. -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
