udev/permissions.d ignored

udev/permissions.d ignored

[Bernd Schubert]

Hi,

is it normal that I can't set the permissions of /dev/snd/* 
via /etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions?

So for example permissions.d/udev.permissions:
snd/*:root:users:0666

bathl:/etc/udev# rmmod snd_ens1371
bathl:/etc/udev# ll /dev/snd
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 33 2006-10-19 10:57 timer

bathl:/etc/udev# udevcontrol reload_rules
bathl:/etc/udev# modprobe snd_ens1371

bathl:/etc/udev#  ll /dev/snd
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116,  0 2006-10-19 17:55 controlC0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116,  8 2006-10-19 17:55 midiC0D0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 24 2006-10-19 17:55 pcmC0D0c
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 16 2006-10-19 17:55 pcmC0D0p
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 17 2006-10-19 17:55 pcmC0D1p
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 33 2006-10-19 10:57 timer

=> Not exactly what I requested, isn't it?

From the syslog:

Oct 19 17:55:22 bathl udevd-event[23213]: udev_node_add: creating device 
node '/dev/snd/pcmC0D1p', major = '116', minor  '17', mode = '0660', uid = '0', gid = '29'


The /etc/udev/permissions.rules has this entry:

# sound devices
SUBSYSTEM="sound",                             GROUP="audio"

Setting there another group and other device permissions does work.

Any idea why the values in permissions.d/udev.permissions are not used? 


Thanks,
Bernd

Ah, 1 minute after I wrote this mail (after reading the documentation for 1h) 
I found debian bug #296437 
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug)6437)

Before my first mail I grepped of course in /usr/share/doc/udev for 
permissions.d:

bernd@bathl ~>grep -r "permissions.d" /usr/share/doc/udev
bernd@bathl ~>

(Nothing found.)


Why is the permission.d directory still there and why is there nothing in the 
documentation and changelog about this issue?

Cheers,
Bernd

Sorry my mistake, I should have used  zgrep  and also should only have 
zgrepped for "permission".
