-UDEV -- What the heck is udev OR why did I get a message to read this?
-
-This is the new mechanism of doing a dyamic /dev. What does
-that mean? Basically, before the days of linux-2.3/linux-2.4 your /dev
-had to have ~18000 files in it for all the possible device that your
-kernel could possibly have, most of which you will NEVER use. This, for
-obvious reasons, is somewhat undesirable. So then came devfs. Devfs
-solved a lot of these problems by dynamically populating /dev with only
-the device nodes of the devices that existed on your system. Now, in
-linux-2.6, udev+sysfs has become the mechanism of choice for populating
-your dynamic /dev with device nodes.
-
-You got this message because you are probably running udev on your system.
-
-If you are not, or you feel that you have reached this message in error you
-can send me an email (look to bottom of file for address).
-
-If you're running udev on your system, you were probably directed
-to read this file during build. For udevd (the daemon responsible
-for creation/deletion of device nodes), you will need to add the following
-lines to your udev rules (ie, /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules):.
-
-# Section for zaptel device
-KERNEL="zapctl", NAME="zap/ctl"
-KERNEL="zaptimer", NAME="zap/timer"
-KERNEL="zapchannel", NAME="zap/channel"
-KERNEL="zappseudo", NAME="zap/pseudo"
-KERNEL="zap[0-9]*", NAME="zap/%n"
-
-This will take care of making all the automagic occur that needs to be
-done so that udevd will make the right files for zaptel.
-
-And, You may wish to add these permissions to your permissions file
-(ie /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions), as some have found
-that the ctl device is inaccessible without the following:
-
-# zaptel devices -- for running asterisk as root
-zap/*:root:root:05700
-
-# zaptel devices -- if you want to run asterisk as a different user
-# (asterisk in this case)
-zap/*:asterisk:asterisk:660
