I don't know about the dropping of your firewall rulesets just because you
are already behind a firewall. The thing that you should consider is that
you should alsways assume your box is compromised, and make it in such a
way that once it is compromised, very little can be done with it by an
unauthorized user. Just my two cents.

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....

In the beginning there was data. The data was without form and
null, and darkness was upon the face of the console; and the Spirit of
IBM was moving over the face of the market. And DEC said, "Let there
be registers"; and there were registers. And DEC saw that they
carried; and DEC separated the data from the instructions. DEC called
the data Stack, and the instructions they called Code. And there was
evening and there was morning, one interrupt.
