Subject: devtmpfs default permissions
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:02:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1256824970.30238.25.camel@mjollnir> (raw)

Hi,

I've been using the devtmpfs patch for 2.6.31 and recently mainline
2.6.32-rc5.  I've noticed that /dev now have default tmpfs permissions,
i.e. 1777.

CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y

One can chmod the directory, but would it not make sense to use a more
less permissive mode (e.g. 0755) by default?

Thanks for working out this feature, the "just works" of devfs together
with the configurability of udev - love it :)
