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
crw--w--w- 1 root root 4, 8 Jan 1 06:32 tty8
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 4, 9 May 31 06:19 tty9
