Re: tty2 respawning too fast



thanks, I used:

rm tty2
./MAKEDEV tty2

and now the permissions are ok (i assume the messages will go away now)

just as a last question: are these permissions ok? i'm not sure what they
_should_ be...

crw--w--w-   1 root     root       4,   0 May 31 06:12 tty0
crw-------   1 wilfy    tty        4,   1 May 31 06:13 tty1
crw-rw----   1 root     dialout    4,   2 May 31 06:18 tty2
crw-rw----   1 root     dialout    4,   3 May 31 05:50 tty3
crw-rw----   1 root     dialout    4,   4 May 31 05:50 tty4
crw-rw----   1 root     dialout    4,   5 May 31 05:50 tty5
crw-rw----   1 root     dialout    4,   6 May 31 05:50 tty6
crw--w--w-   1 root     root       4,   7 Jul 21  1998 tty7
