But how can I specify major and minor numbers? As I know and seems MAKEDEV supports only a list of devices it knows. As my device entry would be specific, I get: /sbin/MAKEDEV: don't know how to make device "grsec" It should have 1,10 ad be char oriented. In the normal case I use mknod, but that's fail for udev between reboots.
