12 <shows>
13 /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules:KERNEL=="null", NAME="%k", MODE="0666"

16 And the other edits I make seem to be still in place:
17
18 KERNEL=="console", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", MODE="0666"
19
20 which was the line I edited in '50-udev.rules'.
21
22 etc/group <shows>
23 tty::5:allen,james,mythtv,allie
24
25 Still I have to ssh in and issue:
26 chmod 666 /dev/null
27 chown root:tty /dev/pty*
28 chown root:tty /dev/tty*
29
30 Before I make these changes, root:root owns the ptys/ttys and
31 the /dev/null permissions are 600 (crw).
32
33 Any other ideas as to what can be setting/corrupting these
34 file permission/ownership?
35
36 I can always use a custom script to patch this until a permanent
37 fix is discovered. Any ideas what's the best place to do this?
38 After bootup but before loging via the kdm session manager?
