At least not right now. =D I think I've found the cause of the problem: the host uses a NIS login server and that is serving the group info. If I specify a local group, then the device group ownership is set properly. I discovered this after testing on an Ubuntu 10.10 box that isn't connected to the NIS server, so thank you for a helpful hint! Best regards, Hawkeye --------------------------- H.
