Hi,
sure, that there are a few possibilities, but perhaps the right settings
in /etc/devfsd.conf will do the job.
As an example look at my version of that file:
[snip]
# /etc/devfsd.conf
REGISTER .* MKOLDCOMPAT
UNREGISTER .* RMOLDCOMPAT
REGISTER floppy/.* PERMISSIONS root.root rw-rw-rw-
LOOKUP .* MODLOAD
[snip-end]
This way the floppy-devices get the wanted permissions.
So I'd try it with a line like
REGISTER tts/.* PERMISSIONS ...what you want....
REGISTER cua/.* ...
but I'm not so aquainted with configuring devfsd.
You'd probably have to change /modules.devfs as well:
[snip, parts only]
# /etc/modules.devfs
...
# Floppies
alias /dev/floppy floppy
alias /dev/fd* floppy
...
# Serial ports
alias /dev/tts* serial
alias /dev/ttyS* /dev/tts
alias /dev/cua* /dev/tts
[snip-end]
With these settings even module loading is triggered, when a device is
referenced.
Hope it helps
Wolfgang
