18 OK, I reverted (re emerged) udev-087-r1
19
20 Now my rules look like this:
21
22 # egrep tty 50-udev.rules
23
24 KERNEL=="pty[pqrstuvwxyzabcdef][0123456789abcdef]", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty",
25 OPTIONS="last_rule"
26 KERNEL=="tty[pqrstuvwxyzabcdef][0123456789abcdef]", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty",
27 OPTIONS="last_rule"
28 KERNEL=="vcs*", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty",
29 OPTIONS="last_rule"
30 KERNEL=="vcsa*", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty",
31 OPTIONS="last_rule"
32 KERNEL=="tty", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", MODE="0666",
33 OPTIONS="last_rule"
34 KERNEL=="tty[0-9]", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty",
35 OPTIONS="last_rule"
36 KERNEL=="tty[0-9][0-9]", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty",
37 OPTIONS="last_rule"
38 KERNEL=="console", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", MODE="0600"
39 KERNEL=="ptmx", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", MODE="0666"
40 # tty devices
41 KERNEL=="ttyS[0-9]*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="tts/%n", GROUP="tty"
42 KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="tts/USB%n", GROUP="tty", MODE="0660"
43 KERNEL=="ippp0", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty"
44 KERNEL=="isdn*" NAME="%k", GROUP="tty"
45 KERNEL=="dcbri*", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty"
46 KERNEL=="ircomm*", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty"
47
48 # egrep null 50-udev.rules
49 KERNEL=="null", NAME="%k", MODE="0666"
50
51 Why is /dev/null getting repeatedly set to more restrictive
52 permission than 666?
53
54 Which ruled do I edit? Explicit suggestions are most welcome.
55 And educate me as to why this portable has this issue, and
56 the other workstations do not?
57
58 Udev seems to be a 'moving target' as much of what I've read seems
59 dated, so any current documents to reference would be appreciated.
60 The man pages are short on examples....i.e. I cannot find
61 /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.examples....
62
63 http://gentoo-wiki.com/UDEV definately needs more detail....
