Hey!

I have 5.1-RELEASE installed on my system, and I've never needed to do a
"pciconf -lv" to probe the system before.  However, I tried doing it
earlier today after logging in through SSH and doing "su -" to become
superuser.  I received this error:

[root@snow 09:12:42 root]# pciconf -lv
pciconf: /dev/pci: Operation not permitted

[root@snow 09:15:41 root]# ls -l /dev/pci
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  251,   0 Nov  2 05:09 /dev/pci

So, as you can see, the permissions are correct.  Perhaps I don't have
something compiled into my kernel?  I can attach a dmesg and kernel config
if it's necessary.

Thanks in advance.
