>Description:
/dev/MAKEDEV (all ports except sun3) says:
chown -R bin.bin fd
chmod 555 fd
(sun3 just uses defaults, with umask 77)
/etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist says:
/set type=dir uname=root gname=wheel mode=0755
...
# ./dev/fd
fd
/etc/mtree/special says:
fd type=dir mode=0755 uname=root gname=wheel ignore
>How-To-Repeat:
Read daily insecurity output; find complaint:
dev/fd: user (0, 3)
gid (0, 7)
permissions (0755, 0555)
after each new installation.
>Fix:
Change etc/etc.*/MAKEDEV or change etc/mtree/{NetBSD.dist,special}.
