It do not. # egrep tty 50-udev.rules <shows these lines> KERNEL=="pty[pqrstuvwxyzabcdef][0123456789abcdef]", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", OPTIONS="last_rule" KERNEL=="tty[pqrstuvwxyzabcdef][0123456789abcdef]", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", OPTIONS="last_rule" KERNEL=="vcs*", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", OPTIONS="last_rule" KERNEL=="vcsa*", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", OPTIONS="last_rule" KERNEL=="tty", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", MODE="0666", OPTIONS="last_rule" KERNEL=="tty[0-9]", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", OPTIONS="last_rule" KERNEL=="tty[0-9][0-9]", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", OPTIONS="last_rule" KERNEL=="console", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", MODE="0600" KERNEL=="ptmx", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", MODE="0666" # tty devices KERNEL=="ttyS[0-9]*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="tts/%n", GROUP="tty" KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="tts/USB%n", GROUP="tty", MODE="0660" KERNEL=="ippp0", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty" KERNEL=="isdn*" NAME="%k", GROUP="tty" KERNEL=="dcbri*", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty" KERNEL=="ircomm*", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty" # alias pnp:dPNP0510 irtty-sir # alias pnp:dPNP0511 irtty-sir Likewise: # egrep null 50-udev.rules KERNEL=="null", NAME="%k", MODE="0666" Want to suggest specific changes to which lines? It looks as though the (mode) permissions and groups are getting set per the udev files? James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
