[K12OSN] /dev/dsp permission problem

[Carl Keil]

Hi,

Almost every time when I log into a client I get the error, (arg, I 
forget the exact error message).  Anyway, it's about /dev/dsp not being 
opened, or in use by something else, or something.  The fix that works 
every time is chmod 777 /dev/dsp .  So, my question is, what's the best 
way to automate this?  Should I do it at login?  I have no idea how to 
do that, but it seems like it makes more sense than a cron job which 
might do it unecessarily, or not do it when needed.  Can someone walk me 
through the steps of getting that command to execute (as root, I'm 
assuming) when a regular user logs into a client?

Thanks a lot,
