-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Howdy List,
This being gone at school for 5 months and then trying to fix 6 computers when I get home all at the same time is getting old. :-) My latest problem is on a Thinkpad that I upgraded from Sarge to Etch. The upgrade installed a 2.6.18-*-486 kernel and udev, which I changed to a 2.6.18-*-686 kernel (and udev). Now whenever I boot the laptop it has a ton of permission problems in /dev. For starters, /dev/random, /dev/urandom, /dev/tty* & /dev/null have permissions of 660 while being owned by root:root, which effectively restricts logins to root only. I edited /etc/udev/rules.d/020_permissions.rules to do different permissions and/or group ownerships, but it seems to be ignoring the rules. /var/log/syslog does not show any udev errors at boot time, either. It also broke my wireless connection, but I can not yet determine if that is udev related or not (not real sure how it could be, though). I have tried Googling the problem as well as looking through the udev bugs on bugs.d.o, all to no avail. Does anyone have any thoughts or hints on what might be causing this udev problem? Let me know if you need any additional info or logfiles. TIA, Jacob -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGaiV/kpJ43hY3cTURAp2cAJ91j4tSfbFB5ORErH+pe+GI1LWmIACaAyoB yHhnb2coOwb6oq6wHEGrpTE= =XIF3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
