    SCO UNIX changing default dev permission

    Locked

    by scottk · about 23 years, 6 months ago

    When you enable /devtty1* or /dev/tty2* the default permissions are set to: crw——-

    You can change those with chmod, but when you disable and enable it again they default back to: crw——-

    How do you change those default permissions. I have been told there is a file you can edit, but I don’t know what the file name is.

      According to SCO’s website, those permissions are set to conform to security specs and shouldn’t need to be changed. See this webpage:
      http://www.sco.com/cgi-bin/ssl_reference?106210.shtml

      There are a set of permissions in /etc/perms/rtsmd (in SCO 3.2v4.2), but they will only be used when you run fixperm and the enable command will change it back to 600 for you.

      Is this causing a problem for you? Perhaps if you described the problem, I could help you find away around it.

      In SCO’s /etc/default directory there are a lot of default settings for various devices. Look around in it. This might give you the answer

      I had the same problem. I solved it by creating a file in the /etc/rc2.d directory that sets it up automatically. I haven’t had to mess with it since I did this.

      I created a file called Schmodtty2A. Below are the contents:
      #
      # set permissions and ownership for use by the remote login
      #
      #
      chmod 666 /dev/tty2A
      chown bin:terminal /dev/tty2A

      Hope this helps.
