My defaults are KERNEL=="pty[pqrstuvwxyzabcdef][0123456789abcdef]",NAME="%k", GROUP="tty",OPTIONS="last_rule" KERNEL=="null",NAME="%k", MODE="0666" > Re-emerging udev should fix this, let etc-update/dispatch-conf replace > /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules. OK, I reverted (re emerged) udev-087-r1 Now my rules look like this: # egrep tty 50-udev.rules KERNEL=="pty[pqrstuvwxyzabcdef][0123456789abcdef]", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", OPTIONS="last_rule" KERNEL=="tty[pqrstuvwxyzabcdef][0123456789abcdef]", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", OPTIONS="last_rule" KERNEL=="vcs*", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", OPTIONS="last_rule" KERNEL=="vcsa*", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", OPTIONS="last_rule" KERNEL=="tty", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", MODE="0666", OPTIONS="last_rule" KERNEL=="tty[0-9]", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", OPTIONS="last_rule" KERNEL=="tty[0-9][0-9]", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", OPTIONS="last_rule" KERNEL=="console", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", MODE="0600" KERNEL=="ptmx", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", MODE="0666" # tty devices KERNEL=="ttyS[0-9]*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="tts/%n", GROUP="tty" KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="tts/USB%n", GROUP="tty", MODE="0660" KERNEL=="ippp0", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty" KERNEL=="isdn*" NAME="%k", GROUP="tty" KERNEL=="dcbri*", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty" KERNEL=="ircomm*", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty" # egrep null 50-udev.rules KERNEL=="null", NAME="%k", MODE="0666" Why is /dev/null getting repeatedly set to more restrictive permission than 666? Which ruled do I edit? Explicit suggestions are most welcome. And educate me as to why this portable has this issue, and the other workstations do not? Udev seems to be a 'moving target' as much of what I've read seems dated, so any current documents to reference would be appreciated. The man pages are short on examples....i.e. I cannot find /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.examples.... http://gentoo-wiki.com/UDEV definately needs more detail....
