Hi all,

What determines what the permissions are on the video device files (/dev/video0, /dev/video1, etc.)? I looked in udev files as well as under /etc/sysconfig and thus far have come up empty-handed.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Boris.

Hi again,

OK, this is an addendum to the above.

Does anybody know where the main udev rules file, /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules , has gone. It used to be there under OpenSuSE, definitely is there under Centos5 - but under OpenSuSE 11.1 seems to be nowhere to be found. And that is where the bulk of the definitions are... Any idea what happened to it?

Thanks.

Boris.

Hello again, I figured this one out! Turns out that for some bizarre reason udev configuration is now spread between the following two locations: /etc/udev and /lib/udev. So in the final run I just ended up editing /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules and this did the trick. Over and out.
