Hello, I'm running a RELENG_5_2 box and I'm trying to use the devfs to change the file permissions on /dev/ttyd1. After perusing through the man page, I tried to change the permissions by doing this
# ls -ol /dev/ttyd1 crw------- 1 root wheel - 28, 1 Jan 15 20:47 /dev/ttyd1 # devfs rule add path ttyd1 mode 666 devfs rule: ioctl DEVFSIO_RADD: Input/output error # ls -ol /dev/ttyd1 crw------- 1 root wheel - 28, 1 Jan 15 20:47 /dev/ttyd1 but it fails and I'm not sure why. I'll have to do devfs rule applyset if the rule add succeeds since the node /dev/ttyd1 has already been created but I haven't got that far yet... I've also tried using the example in the man page with /dev/speaker, but it also fails with the same error. # ls -ol /dev/speaker crw------- 1 root wheel - 26, 0 Jan 15 21:24 /dev/speaker # dmesg | grep speaker speaker0: <PC speaker> at port 0x61 on isa0 # devfs rule add path speaker mode 666 devfs rule: ioctl DEVFSIO_RADD: Input/output error # ls -ol /dev/speaker crw------- 1 root wheel - 26, 0 Jan 15 21:24 /dev/speaker Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
