It won't matter. Use of /dev/apm_bios to suspend the machine is restricted to processes with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability. On a normal Linux box that means setuid to root. I have been considering changing that to just depend on the devicenode permissions for a while, but can't make up my mind. :-( -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/
