Well..., yes. It seems between 030 and 056 the permissions directory support was dropped yet lots of examples existed and it appears to parse it in the log so it's hidden in the noise that the changing of permissions is now done in the rules files. Even the udev Change log doesn't indicate this. > The udev rules have > jumped around a bit. They've only come under version control in the > past few months.

I've been using the udev-config-4.rules and it bring us closer to our previous permissions. It seems there was yet another undocumented change. The config files: # default_mode - set the default mode for all nodes that have no # explicit match in the permissions file default_mode="0600" is no longer supported. The Change log only indicates it's being supported way back when udev started to exist. So many permissions with your LFS udev-config-4.rules still leave difference from our previous environment. Many appear to be a consistent difference between default permissions. Many of our files have permissions 600 and are now coming up 660. I think this is likely because default_mode="0600" is now ignored in the config file. Might be best to try two versions of udev-config-4.rules, one with the way they exist in the 6.1.1 release and another that beings us closer to the permissions we are using from 6.1 (or earlier). Any thoughts on that. You may be in a great position to know which environment be best. Using the stock udev-config-4.rules from 6.1.1 would likely make future migration to 6.2 easier. Modifying the udev-config-4.rules to give the same permissions we use now with 6.1 would likely minimize risk of our appliance behavior changing. I haven't seen anything in your /lfs-bootscripts-3.2.1.tar that changes files modes in /dev. -piet > > I think you can also safely update to udev-071 with the same setup. > Read the NEWS and README in udev.
