Subject: [Bug] udev creates nodes in the wrong place.
Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2004 12:06:51 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fzemu1t0.fsf@minas-morgul.org> (raw)
With the recent sysfs input device class patch, mouse nodes device numbers
are now exported in sysfs. So udev creates mouse nodes in /udev.
My udev.rules contains this line:
REPLACE, KERNEL="mouse*", NAME="input/%k"
But, mouse0 and mouse1 only are in /udev/input whereas mouse2 and
mouse4 (?) are created directly under /udev.
Another bug in udev.permissions:
input/*:root:root:660
gives 660 access rights to the directory, too, which I guess is not
what we want; I as a normal user can't walk into it and it can be
relevant for snd/* devices which I, as audio group member, should be
allowed to access.
snd/*:root:audio:660 prevents me to access them
There is a workaround obviously, but the wildcard rule does not work
as it should, I guess.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
Have a nice day,

Please boot 2.2.18pre24 (not pre25) on the machine and send me its DMI strings
printed at boot time. I'll add it to the 'stupid morons who cant program and
wouldnt know QA if it hit them on the head with a mallet' list
