Hi,

While studying the various FreeBSD SCSI and SCSI RAID drivers, I noticed
that the file mode (perm mask) varies per driver. So far, I've come across
0600, 0640 and 0644. I can't really see why any of these drivers would
have anything other than 0600, as it would require root access or at least
write perm to do anything useful with the card.

Here's a quick illustration of what I'm refering to:

aac	0640 (octal notation in code)
amr	0600 (implemented as S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR)
asr	0640 (octal notation in code)
ciss	0600 (implemented as S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR)
ida	0600 (implemented as S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR)
iir	0644 (implemented as S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH)
ips	0600 (implemented as S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR)
isp	0600 (octal notation in code)
mly	0600 (implemented as S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR)

I've attached a set of patches that make the aac, asr, iir and isp drivers
conform to S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR. I don't have all of these cards, but the
drivers build on today's CURRENT and these changes are rather minor. As
always, comments are welcome. :)

Regards,
Andy
