Subject: [gentoo-user] UDEV permissions

1 I'm working on a manual QEMU install (that is, I'm installing from
2 source downloaded from their website).
3
4 There's a reference in their kqemu documentation about setting UDEV
5 permissions on /dev/kqemu. I initially disregarded this, but now it's
6 become an issue. It was easily resolved by /manually/ setting
7 permissions on this device to 0666...
8
9 What I'm having difficulty with is finding information on the illusive
10 /etc/udev/permissions.d directory. According to the kqemu docs, I should
11 edit the file /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions and add the
12 following line to it:
13
14 kqemu:root:root:0666
15
16 This directory and file don't exist so I created them both and
17 rebooted--this didn't work to set the permissions and that device.
18
19 My question is: How do I set these permissions as explained in Gentoo?
20
21 (I've looked for docs for doing this but haven't found anything
22 referencing this file or setting UDEV permissions.)
23
24 Thanks in advance for your help.
