you have to change the perms on the device in the /dev directory.
if /dosc is /dev/hda1, you have to make /dev/hda1 writable by the user you're
trying to write to it as...or on /dev/hda, I can't remember which. Please
note that this is a really bad idea...it is extremely bad form as far as
system security goes.
I could be wrong...
