Re: little whole on Suns concerning /dev/kbd

[poland () cam4 gsfc nasa gov (James Poland)]

For Solaris 2.x, use the file /etc/logindevperm.
Mine includes the lines:

/dev/console    0600    /dev/mouse:/dev/kbd
/dev/console    0600    /dev/sound/*            # audio devices
/dev/console    0600    /dev/fbs/*              # frame buffers

/dev/console    0622    /dev/audio
/dev/console    0600    /dev/audioctl
/dev/console    0600    /dev/kbd:/dev/mouse
