hello my friend asked me about permissions in /dev/pts/* devices, and when i played with this, i found some inconsistency in default configuration..
after default install, always in /etc/fstab is these records: none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620) none on /dev type devfs (rw) now, if i logged as user "abc" via local console, my terminal device have permission: abc.abc 620, exactly as say /etc/fstab and settings in /etc/devfsd.conf is unapplyed. ok.. i want change group ownership in this device, what i doing? edit /etc/devfsd.conf (because i use devfsd) and hmmm.. here are these lines: REGISTER ^pty/s.* PERMISSIONS -1.tty 0600 REGISTER ^pts/.* PERMISSIONS -1.tty 0600 hmhm.. i forget, /etc/fstab has record for this, and i must add gid options, or uncoment this and use true devfsd funcionality.... .. but, this is not some schyzophrenic?? my suggestion, if used devfsd can't mount /dev/pts as devpts filesystem.. but, maybe i'm wrong and this part is unintelligible for me:) p.s.: off course, sorry for my english, but i believe if this information was useful.. -- Linux 2.4.19-pre4-jam2 Mandrake Linux release 8.3 (Cooker) for i586 3:21pm up 2 days, 19:59, 11 users, load average: 0.42, 0.35, 0.13
