17 Tried this but it does not correctly set the permission
18 upon reboot. In fact I put these entries in both
19 10-local.rules and 10-udev.rules

21
22 KERNEL:="console", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", MODE="0666"
23 KERNEL:="null", NAME="%k", MODE="0666"
24
25 Looking around at /dev and /etc/udev/rules.d/
26
27 It seem as though the other devices are getting permissions
28 correctly set. I did notice something very peculiar about dev/null
29 Here is dev /null before I correct it:
30 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Oct 22 2000 /dev/null
31 What's up with the date?
32
33 Also, I do not have to change permission on /dev/null to get the
34 kconsole sessions to run correctly. But I do want 666 on dev/null
35 upon reboot, as I use it extensively (old unix habits).....
36
37 Any other ideas?
