Hi Kay, > I guess you need: > http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=2e5f10e4f0a9649186d8a8c793822b2e0dae8373 I guess I was just a few months behind on reporting this problem! I tried 2.6.26 RC3 and the permissions now seem to be reliably applied. I'm not sure why I didn't encounter this problem on 2.6.23 given that the patch description states this was a long-standing issue, but I suppose that that is not worth exploring further. Thank you very much for the pointer to the patch. Thanks also to Alan Stern for his fixing of this issue. -Leonid -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
