Mmmm, yes and no, Carlos. I'd like to know where the area is that SuSE actually holds the file with it's permissions set. As an example, if I were to install a brand new clean SuSE 10 where are the actual device permissions held that the install refers to then?
Depends on which devices. The initial default for the /dev directory depends on devfs, as implemented by the udev daemon, with configuration in /etc/udev/; remember that the /dev tree is now dynamic, not static as it was. Sure, there is a static tree coming from devs-...rpm, but it gets completely overwritten once the kernel starts the devfs, very early in the bootup process. Then, some may get modified by /dev/devperms. Some may get modified by the /etc/permissions* files. And some get modified on every single local login according to /etc/logindevperm. Not to forget those plugable devices depending on the hald daemon, with configuration under /usr/share/hal. See? Not a single place. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEQNiFtTMYHG2NR9URAo8PAJ9+lb9xy3fxghceqMGfRbxJv7HuUwCgjOR6 q+cyfZvaVfkTiy5j756nvVs= =Cyg/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
