After reading all the man pages of resmgr, logindevperm etc. and 
setting the permissions at various places 
(/etc/permissions, /etc/logindevperm, /etc/resmgr.conf) I am still 
not getting the desired result. It works if the login is 
interactive on a console or to the graphical user interface (I have 
installed this in the meantime), but it seems not to work for 
apache web server or processes initiated via cronjobs. I still need 
to run SuSEconfig manually after a reboot/crash to gain write 
access to /dev/hda (via /etc/permissions) for these to work.
