Subject: [PATCH 2/4] devpts: Set the default permissions of /dev/pts/ptmx and /dev/ptmx to 0666
Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2012 20:49:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ipb5760e.fsf_-_@xmission.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87txup763i.fsf_-_@xmission.com> (Eric W. Biederman's message of "Sat, 22 Sep 2012 20:47:45 -0700")
These are difference instances of the same device not so it only
makes sense that they would have the same default permissions.
Move the definitions of DEVPTS_DEEFAULT_PTMX_MODE and PTM_MINOR
into devpts_fs.h so we can use the same definitions throughout.
