didnt work for me with vbox 2.0.4 in intrepid

i also did:

grep vbox /etc/group

and i got correct number for devgid but that didnt work either.

i even tried with:

none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=$TTYGRP,devmode=$TTYMODE

in a desperate search for the solution, but nothing worked.

thanks anyways
