(I changed the owner from root to bro.) If bro is a member of group
wheel, bro still can't read the device.
I'm confused. If the files are mode 600 and "bro" owns them, then
it certainly should be able to read them ... !
I don't know how to control
the permissions, owner or group of devfs devices. The devfs(5) man
page is useless.
So the problem is that devfs creates them on-the-fly, so you're not able
to alter their ownership? What happens if you create them statically via
/dev/MAKEDEV?
After the /dev/bpfxx is created, bro complains that it can't read the /dev/bpfxx and stops. I change the owner to bro and then restart bro. The traffic I'm currently monitoring is not the Fermi border traffic, it's internal traffic. So only two bpfxx have been automatically created. When I hook up the border traffic, I expect that a lot of /dev/bpfxx will be created, so I need to find a way to tell devfs to create /dev/bpfxx with owner 'bro'. I don't know how to do this.
