444 -> root.wheel
root -> root.wheel
uucp -> uucp.wheel (perhaps this should be .dialer, but .wheel is safer)
missing -> root.wheel
chown to root is usually bogus because mknod had to be run by root to
create the inode. Setting the group explictly is currently necessary
because MAKEDEV does nothing to ensure that its working directory has
a suitable group.
Driver authors! Please fix any bogons in MAKEDEV that involve your
drivers. The sound devices are still world writable...
for now (there are too many minors to create by default). The special
sliced disk case ssd*|svn*|swd*) can almost replace the standard disk
case sd*|vn*|wd*) now (it just creates a few more devices), but there
will have to be special cases to allow creating slices 6-31 and partitions
on slices 2-31.
Fix bogus default cases.
The group was wrong if MAKEDEV was run in a directory with group other
than wheel. This may have messed up the group in recent SNAPs
(sysinstall/obj should have group bin).
Reset the umask to 77 after running MAKEDEV.local. Some cases depend on
the 77 default. MAKEDEV.local and all cases should probably set the
umask explictly and not depend on a default. Most cases already set it.
match all the port names.
Start using shell functions to avoid duplication.
Make tty* independent of cua*. Restore support for old names (tty0 ==
ttyd0, cua0 = cuaa0...).
Restore making of lpt1 and lpt2 by default.
Keep umask 077 for making vty*. World-ioctable vtys are huge security holes
because of bugs in syscons.
Make vga if a vty is made. It may still be required for X. It got nuked
with pc*.
Start using umask consistently to avoid using chmod.
file anymore after this. My link makes it too painful to make
interactive mods, and I don't have the CVS tree here so making changes
for "previous history" have to get done on freefall, with the corresponding
degree of pain.

|For a while now, MAKEDEV's been kinda neat: you create the cua* files,

|deletes the corresponding cua* files. K00l! :-)
[Ed Note - I think this behavior was wrong, and this fix better].

driver mods for dual-mode DMA will allow VAT compiled for BSD/386 1.1 to
run under FreeBSD 2.x.)
be installed on, so they should be in /dev as well.
Removed the smoking remains of dcf*. I didn't realize that it had made it
into MAKEDEV. Gone from cdevsw long time ago, gone from /dev now.
actually have a printer connected or online:
- MAKEDEV: remove all signs of lpa
add lpctl? devices (minor # = unit + 128)
- usr.sbin/Makefile add lptcontrol
- sys/i386/isa/lpt.c implement the LP_BYPASS flag: when a unit is
opened with this flag set, the printer is
not primed, and no check is made to see that
the printer is online. This can only be used
to pass ioctls. (giving us /dev/lpctl?)
- lptcontrol.c use /dev/lpctl? (LP_BYPASS)
-f flag removed, -u flag added
- lptcontrol.8 document changes in lptcontrol
rewrite using mandoc macros
