Sorry for the delay, I had no connection for about 5 days, some tractor here in the village ripped the telephone cable so everyone was without phone
which happens from time to time!
I think I discovered the culprit though! "operator:*:5:root" that is all I get in /etc/group.
I should have "operator:*:5:root,jv" as jv is my user.
I went initially in FreeBSD's handbook nr 7.6.4 "#pw groupmod operator -m jv"
Then I created using ee the /etc/devfs.rules file wherein I wrote:
[system=5]
add path ugen0 mode 660
and then added to /etc/rc.conf file devfs_system_ruleset="system"
So there you know my steps.
I got so angry those few days that I was not connected and I played extensively with FreeBSD that I erased the amd64 architecture
I still have the i386 though.
More on the funny side, I had been frustrated for quite a while as one of my favourite distros 64Studio, which I use now, would not spell check. Now it does! US. favourite is wrong
Is it probable that I did not create the file properly with ee?
Thanks a lot for your help
