hi everybody,
I've posted this question to comp.os.linux.misc some weeks ago and got
no responses at all! please see if you can help me;
I'm running Debian 1.3 (bo) with 2.0.29 kernel; if someone logs in via
telnet and then logs out the /dev/ttyp* used is left with different
permissions; in the following output:
- I (oexel) am logged in ttyp0;
- ttyp1 and ttyp2 have been used after the last reboot;
- the rest have never been used since the last boot;
$ ls -l /dev/ttyp*
crw--w---- 1 oexel tty 3, 0 Dec 17 17:04 /dev/ttyp0
crw------- 1 root root 3, 1 Dec 16 13:38 /dev/ttyp1
crw------- 1 root root 3, 2 Dec 7 00:46 /dev/ttyp2
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 3, 3 Oct 12 16:38 /dev/ttyp3
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 3, 4 Oct 12 16:38 /dev/ttyp4
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 3, 5 Oct 12 16:38 /dev/ttyp5
a subsequent telnet login using the 'dirty' ttyp's works fine but
minicom (over modemu) refuses to work with a message like:
minicom: Cannot open /dev/ttyp1: Permission denied.
in case you don't know, modemu is a simple telnet client that loads a
comm program over itself; what's strange is that modemu can use
/dev/ttyp1 ok; the error happens when minicom tries to use it!
right after a reboot all ttyp*'s have permissions like 'crw-rw-rw-' and
group like 'tty' so everything works fine!
any clues?
TIA!
