I just had a run-in with Udev after updating to 119 .
It started when I went to back up a small file on diskette as usual
& I was told it couldn't access 'A:'.  The cause turned out to be
a change in the permissions for  /dev/fd0  to  640 .
After some investigation, incl a search of the Forum,
which had no direct advice, but pointed to a Wiki article,
I was able to write a local rule to set the permission back to  660 .

It does seem a bizarre change: does anyone have any comments ?
