MAKEDEV still builds /dev/pty*
I just noticed the following change on source-changes
Modified Files:
src/etc [netbsd-6]: MAKEDEV.tmpl
Log Message:
Pull up following revision(s) (requested by christos in ticket #490):
etc/MAKEDEV.tmpl: revision 1.157
Don't create BSD style pty nodes by default anymore since ptyfs is
mounted by default. Mention that this is a security issue, since
it allows pty access through the old style node. While here,
pull up revision 1.54 (wedges) to reduces diffs to -current
Yet it seems that a "default" installation still creates all the
/dev/pty* entries, even though the installation also creates and mounts
a /dev/pts file system.
Is there something more that needs/should be done to make us do "the
right thing" on a default install?
My example install is identical to the one done by the anita/qemu test
framework, using sysinstall. One of the last things that sysinstall
does is run "MAKEDEV all".
