I usually just do a
chown user /dev/filename/program/etc...
which is of course not always the most elegant, refined
way of doing it but on a machine where you are Not worried
about hacker activity you can get away with more open permissions..

What is your security set to by the way ? Did you use msec, Bastille,
tiny-firewall (default settings) etc...When I have an offline box
or generally one not directly connected to the world and behind a firewall
within a "trusted network" I have no qualms setting security to
"welcome to crackers" which often makes all the little bizarre
hiccups of linux devices play a little more nicely together with the
user(s) with access to the machine......

You can also change devices to group settings with more universal
access/permissions as well....

Other memebers of this List I am sure have more precise ideas
but thought I would throw a few your way to work with.. !! :)

Glad you got it working....
