Hi, yes im using the fedora 3. I keep the values unchanged. There are default values in /etc/udev/udev.conf and in the /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions. ex: more /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions # console devices console:root:root:0600 tty:root:root:0666 tty[0-9]:root:tty:0660 but the almost all the files keep the permission 600 root root crw------- 1 root root 4, 7 Mar 28 10:07 /dev/tty1 regards, diego Message: 9 Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2005 11:32:41 -0600 From: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: /dev permission after boot To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <20050328173241.GC27335@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > After a boot, the permission of files in /dev becomes this a different > permission than original are. > Example: > > original permission > crw-rw---- 1 root tty 2, 139 Mar 28 07:43 ptyxb > after boot > crw------- 1 root root 2, 139 Mar 28 10:07 ptyxb > > original permission > crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Mar 28 07:43 null > after boot > crw------- 1 root root 1, 3 Mar 28 10:07 null > > and a lot of more files... > > Does anybody know is changing it? > > regards, > Diego > My assumption is that you are in FC3 and you have not gotten udev properly configured. -- ======================================================================= Chaos is King and Magic is loose in the world. ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.
