File permissions problem

[David McNally]

Hi again.

I can see that the reaction to my question has mostly been "Why do you need
to know?".

I'm trying to run Virtual Box OSE, which says that it needs to be able to
read and write a file in /dev/vboxdrv/ that it can't access.

In retrospect, I probably should have mentioned that beforehand.

Thanks again,
David
