Hi Larry,
thanks for the positive response.
Sure, let your fix settle before taking the next.
Here's a small change on top, that avoids a chkstat build verification issue.
- adjust file attributes on SUID helpers to avoid chkstat issues
- remove obsolete libgsoap-devel (again)
- remove /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules
- it is overruled from vboxdrv init script anyway
- vboxdrv generates a /etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules file
on _every_ start, note that fact in /etc/default/virtualbox
and describe a strategy to control this behaviour
- relocate VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh to /usr/lib/virtualbox
this is, where vboxdrv, resp. the generated 60-vboxdrv.rules
file is expecting it
