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 - -Matthew Fredrickson -creslin@NOSPAMdigium.com |
