Hi,
Trying to create a char-device as ordinary user, results into this:
# mknod /var/tmp/bla-1.0.0/etc/udev/devices/bla01 c 212 0
mknod: `/var/tmp/bla-1.0.0/etc/udev/devices/bla01': Operation not permitted
Any explanation for this behavior?
Is it mknod trying to be overly clever or is it an selinux bug (This is
on a FC3 system with selinux-policy-targeted)?
This issue prevents one from being able to build rpms containing special
devices as ordinary users.
Ralf
