I think you may have misunderstood what people were suggesting. They weren't suggesting changing the mode of the file, but using chmod(1M) to add/modify ZFS ACLs on the device file. chmod A+user:gdm:rwx:allow <file> See chmod(1M) or the zfs admin guide for ZFS ACL examples. > If not, can people recommend a better way to manage audio device > permisisons from the login screen?
