Well you're very close to the answer. :) You want to look at the permissions on the device itself this time. For instance on my machine: brw-r----- 1 root operator 19, 0 Apr 11 17:52 /dev/wcd0a brw-r----- 1 root operator 19, 2 Apr 11 17:52 /dev/wcd0c There is always more than one way to do things in unix, you could add read permissions for "other," however what I did was add myself to the operator group. Thsi way I don't have to worry about changing the permissions again after I rebuild the devices next time.
