Robert Watson 4983b09404 o Modify format of /etc/fbtab to accept glob matching patterns for
target devices, not just individual devices and directories.  This
  permits activities such as:

	ttyv0		0600	/dev/dsp*

  Whereas previously that was not supported.  This change is
  backwards-compatible, except where device names included globbing
  characters, which is not the case for any devices listed in MAKEDEV.

.Nm fbtab
.Nd change device protection upon login
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
file contains a number of lines specifying a device together with a list
of devices with associated protections.
Comments start with a # and extend to the end of the line.
.Pp
Blank lines or lines with only a comment are ignored.
.Pp
All other lines consist of three fields delimited by
whitespace: a login device (/dev/ttyv0), an octal
permission number (0600), and a ":"-delimited list of
device patterns (/dev/console, /dev/dsp*).
All device patterns are absolute paths.
.Pp
If the tty argument (relative path) matches a login device
name (absolute path), the permissions of the devices in the
":"-delimited list are set as specified in the second
field, and their ownership is changed to that of the uid
and gid arguments.
