Note to people who are unfamiliar with devfs..
Access modes for files come from two locations:
1. The kernel, from the code that creates the entry
2. From devfsd
The kernel has no knowledge of groups, and does not want to
set any policy, so the only thing the kernel can do is make
the gid be 0.
That means /dev/plex86 has to default to u=rw,go= (just about
equal to ug=rw,o=), or to ugo=rw (which I understand is
unwanted). Then devfsd can chgrp it and set it to be g+rw.
What does the kernel code currently register as the default
mode?
