I've got app-misc/beep to have a lill' more fun beeping =)
the problem is that when I beep as normal user, I get following:
Code:
Could not open /dev/console for writing.
open: Permission denied

I've tryed adding the user to the console group but that didn't
help. At the moment only sudo works.
Any ideas?

Thx,
