Hi there,

I am running current from around 11. May.

I try to open /dev/io as user 'dose.wheel' with the following permissions:
 crw-rw----  1 dose  wheel    2,  14 Mar 24 13:14 /dev/io

but get always 'Operation not permitted' errors. I must be root.
Is the man page to old or did I miss something?

     The entire access control is handled by the file access permissions of
     /dev/io, so care should be taken in granting rights for this device.
     Note that even read/only access will grant the full I/O privileges.


BTW. FreeBSD.ORG is not reachable from 160.45.2.xxx. Who is the 
     person I could ask about this problem?
