Personally I would > just say that he/his_distribution should fix the shipped > udev.permissions. I run Slackware 10 and got this in /etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions : # console devices console:root:tty:0600 tty:root:tty:0666 tty[0-9][0-9]*:root:tty:0660 vc/[0-9]*:root:tty:0660 But the real problem is not permissions but the fact that /dev/tty is a directory now not a character device. Is this intended? If yes this will break many userspace applications which will assume /dev/tty is a character device. Greg can you please comment? Cheers, ismail -- Time is what you make of it
