[Asterisk-Users] permission denied when monitoring channel OSS/dsp

[Christoph Eicke]

Hi!

When I want to monitor the OSS/dsp channel through the Asterisk management 
interface, I get a "permission denied" error:

Action: Monitor
Monitor: OSS/dsp
File: 1124096949
Mix: 1
Response: Error
Message: Permission denied

My permissions for /var/spool/asterisk look like this:

pound:~# ls -la /var/spool/asterisk/
total 40
drwxr-xr-x  10 asterisk asterisk 4096 Aug  9 10:19 .
drwxr-xr-x   9 root     root     4096 Aug  4 14:40 ..
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root     4096 Jul  8 09:40 dictate
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root     4096 Jul  8 09:40 meetme
drwxr-x---   2 asterisk asterisk 4096 Aug  9 10:32 monitor
drwx------   2 root     root     4096 Jul  4 16:56 outgoing
drwxr-----   2 root     root     4096 Jul  4 16:56 qcall
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root     4096 Jul  8 09:40 system
drwxr-xr-x   2 asterisk asterisk 4096 Mar 21 12:23 tmp
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root       37 Jul 13 10:08 vm 
-> /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default
drwxr-xr-x   3 asterisk asterisk 4096 Jul  4 16:53 voicemail

So, there shouldn't be any problems writing to disk. Anything else that I need 
to take into account, especially something special about monitoring the 
OSS/dsp channel?

Thanks,
Christoph
