Re: Redefining udev permissions on a given device (/dev/isdninfo)

Dumb question - are you rebooting after making the changes?
yes.
One other thing to check is to see if there is a file in
/etc/security/console.perms.d controlling permissions. I don't run
ISDN so I am not sure if the software adds a file with its rules
like the vdr package does.
No references to isdn in console.perms.d either but your suggestion was helpful
nevertheless: I created 60-isdninfo.perms which has the appropriate definitions.
[root@ws2 fs]# cat /etc/security/console.perms.d/60-isdninfo.perms
<isdn>=/dev/isdninfo
<console> 0660 <isdn> 0660 root.dialout
This solves at least 3/4 of my problem as I can now access /dev/isdninfo as a
local user.
Unfortunately, there are two problems left:
1. Obviously, this does not work when using a remote (X) login. Therefore a
general solution with udev is still needed.
2. After logging in, the ownership on /dev/isdninfo is <user>.root instead of
root.dialout. Why?
Thanks for your help so far :-) I don't think it is anything special for isdn,
just general udev/permissions.
