I could be wrong but...
I seem to remember having to change the permissions of the device file in
/dev (/dev/quadrature is a symlink so it is whatever that points at). I
changed the flags to make sure everyone could do anything to it, which
although not the perfect solution, did the job; I am sure someone will
tell you the absolutely correct settings for maximum security etc., but
that should get you going...
Unfortunately I have just managed to trash my RiscBSD partition, so I
can't check until I reinstall it all (early next week I hope).
Ben.
