Re: Group ID conflicts between different distros: how to manage them with NIS?



Excellent.
Time to read about udev.
Will do my homework, try a few tests, and will get back with results and, possibly, more questions :-D
Thank you, everybody for your valuable help (and time).

Best regards,
João

You could, and it may even work, but it would be temporary.
To make it truly work you should write your own udev rule for these (and
other) devices.

The reason being - udev creates everything under the /dev (system boot).
Udev changes everything under the /dev (vt switch, user relogins).

In that particular case you should override changes made by
/lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules.
