:Hi,
:
:I spent some time playing around with MAKEDEV in order to get a way
:for local device owenership/permissions overrides.
:
:For those willing to give it a try, check this out:
:
:http://bettlakenauszuzeln.magic-ceee.com/MAKEDEV.tar.gz
:
:There are three files in this tarball:
:
:MAKEDEV
:etc.devices.conf --> Copy to /etc/devices.conf
:etc.defaults.devices.conf --> Copy to /etc/defaults/devices.conf
I don't like the idea of removing the defaults from MAKEDEV itself,
that just creates two places where modifications have to be made rather
then one. But I really like your /etc/devices.conf override mechanism.
If you were to retool your patch to leave the defaults in MAKEDEV and
add the /etc/devices.conf (or even the /etc/devices.conf and
/etc/defaults/devices.conf) capability, I would commit it in a heartbeat.
