Dev/rtc Permissions

#1 (**permalink**) 27-Feb-2007, 22:03

I want to run Parallels. Every time I run it. it complains about not having permission to us it. I have to open the file manager super user go to dev. find the rtc file and right click on it and change the permissions in properties. Then run Parallels and it doesn't complain. But if I reboot the PC I have to do it all again.

How can I make the permission change stay put?
Thanks,
Ron

put this in /etc/init.d/boot.local

Code:

chmod 644 /dev/rtc

every time your bootup again, it'll change permissions
