I've just completed a stage 1 reinstall of Gentoo on my iBook. I have not, as of yet, altered any of the udev configuration files. The default udev.conf says this:# udev_permissions - The name and location of the udev permission file udev_permissions="/etc/udev/permissions.d/"
In /etc/udev/permissions.d/, there is a file entitled "50-udev.permissions". This file contains the following lines:# audio devices [...] snd/*:root:audio:0660 [...] sndstat:root:audio:0660 And yet the permissions on the contents of /dev are: bash-2.05b$ ls -l /dev/sndstat lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Feb 5 09:28 /dev/sndstat -> /proc/asound/oss/sn bash-2.05b$ ls -l /dev/snd total 0 crw------- 1 meredith audio 116, 0 Feb 4 12:13 controlC0 crw------- 1 meredith audio 116, 24 Feb 5 09:28 pcmC0D0c crw------- 1 meredith audio 116, 16 Feb 5 09:28 pcmC0D0p crw------- 1 meredith audio 116, 1 Feb 4 12:13 seq crw------- 1 meredith audio 116, 33 Feb 4 12:13 timer Other devices have also been given semi-random permissions. Obviously I can just run chown and chmod as a temporary fix, but I'd rather have a udev system that actually works the way it's supposed to. What on earth is going on here, and how do I fix it?The default udev.conf file is attatched. Thanks, Meredith Shepherd
