Hi James,

Sorry for later reply due to my busy work. I checked Suse RPM: I am
using SuSe 9.1 (kernel 2.6.4-52-smp), pam RPM version is 0.77-221. I use
"rpm -ql pam" command, there is no /etc/security/console.perm file exist
in the computer which exist in Fedora Core 2/3 and Mandrake. 

The command "rpm -ql pam" output is as followed:

"/etc/pam.d
/etc/pam.d/other
/etc/securetty
/etc/security
/etc/security/access.conf
/etc/security/group.conf
/etc/security/limits.conf
/etc/security/pam_env.conf
/etc/security/time.conf
/lib/*
/lib/security/*
/usr/share/doc/*
/usr/share/man/*"

I tested normal user login, login session (KDE) always change the audio
(/etc/snd/*) permission to 600, and owner to current user. Is there ways
I can work around it?

Thanks.

Rocky

This isn't GNOME or KDE, it is PAM (a system level configuration).

You make the same change for either one:

<console>  0660 <sound>      0660 root.audio

Users that are allowed to use audio must be members of the group:
"audio".
