For devices not handled through sysfs it is impossible to create a device with
specific permissions (one can create them through the links.conf hack).
I suggest modifying the links.conf hack to accept mode and owner as extra
options. This would fix the issue, i.e. the function make_extra_nodes could
be changed like this:
# I hate this hack. -- Md
make_extra_nodes() {
grep '^[^#]' /etc/udev/links.conf | \
while read type name dev maj min perms own; do
[ "$type" -a "$name" -a ! -e "/dev/$name" -a ! -L "/dev/$name" ] ||continue
[ -z "$perms" -a "$type" = "M" ] && perms="600"
case "$type" in
L) ln -s $dev /dev/$name ;;
D) mkdir -p /dev/$name ;;
M) mknod --mode="$perms" /dev/$name $dev $maj $min ;;
*) echo "links.conf: unparseable line ($type $name $dev $maj $min $perms
$own)" ;;
esac
[ -z "$own" ] || chown "$own" /dev/$name
done
}
