There were only 2 changes between 026 and 027: : o fix handle leak in udev_lib.c Greg Kroah-Hartman: o tweak the gentoo default permission rules as they are wrong for tty and misc devices I don't think that either of these changes caused anything to cause device nodes to have their permissions changed, but if so, I would be very interested in it. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by The 2004 JavaOne(SM) Conference Learn from the experts at JavaOne(SM), Sun's Worldwide Java Developer Conference, June 28 - July 1 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA REGISTER AND SAVE! http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf Priority Code NWMGYKND _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
