I had no fstab entry for shm in my debian etch
(testing) system.
So /dev/shm had wrong permission. I don't now if this is a bug in the
jackd pachage. However, if I do one of these three things I get the
right permission so jack can start from normal user:
1) Add to fstab:
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
So use 1) for now (as suggested by Mark previously).
Is this the best
solution on debian? (Not that I don't trust Mark, but only to ask if
debian has a specific behaviour here).
That explains the faulty permissions; since no filesystem was mounted
on the (empty) directory /dev/shm it had the default 755 root.root.
The fstab entry is perfectly fine.
[OT]
I don't have a devpts entry in fstab, should debian must have one?
(infact I currently have to manually mount devpts to open a subshell,
for example CRTL+O in mc).
[/OT]
You (or the debian testing release) seem to have screwed up some
/etc files somewhat. As said, Mandrake has the mounting of devpts
in rc.sysinit, but I guess you could add that to fstab as well.
