Hi

I started to move some of my machines from 4.x to 5.3.

Using amanda (www.amanda.org) for backups I ran into a problem:

The user operator is used by amanda for all stuff, for example
questioning /dev/ch0 to change the tape.

5.3: ls -la /dev/ch0
crw-------  1 root  operator  232,   0 Nov 30 14:35 /dev/ch0

While using 4.x I just did chmod g+rw /dev/ch0 during installation
of amanda and everything was fine, now rebooting a 5.3 machine
everything is not fine as the additional rights are gone...

Is there a way to grant additional rights surviving reboots?
I can write a little script for /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ but I do not think
that would be very cute :-(

Regards
     Andreas
