zmfix and /dev/video[0123] permissions

JimNoble · Post by **JimNoble** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 9:49 pm

from zmpck.log, I can see zmfix is being run as user apache:

Executing: su apache --shell=/bin/sh --command='/usr/lib/zm/bin/zmfix'

Which fails to fix the permissions on /dev/video[0-3]

Presumably it's supposed to run as root. Any ideas as to why it's not?

(Should it be owned by root and have the set uid bit chmodded?)

Yes, this should happen in the install process.

Cheers Phil.

Permissions got screwed at some point, and I guess I lost the setuid...
