dev permissions wrong after boot

English Hardware
1

My /dev/dsp device has the wrong permission when I boot on my 64 bit machine.
When I change the group to audio and the permissions to 660 everything works fine.
On a reboot the file attributes are again back again to the wrong values.

crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 Sep 12 12:52 /dev/dsp - openSUSE 11.3 32-bit - correct

crw------- 1 root root 14, 3 Sep 12 12:52 /dev/dsp - openSUSE 11.3 64-bit - not correct

On the 64-bit machine I uninstalled pulse audio. (don’t think relevant)

Tried some udev rules to fix this without any success.

Users are member of the audio group - (don’t think relevant)

any comments or suggestion will be much appreciated

So when I look at my /dev/dsp I did find the “correct” setting for rw. So you have tried running say a File Manager in Super User mode and changed the permissions to add rw (as root), and then they are ALWAYS gone after a reboot of the system?

Thank You,

Once the machine is booted, I can change the groupid to audio and set the device file permissions with a file manager to rw rw (chmod 606)

The device file is a dynamic file that is created on startup (with some permissions)
So I start with the wrong permissions again.

I wonder if there is more than udev responsible for these permissions.
