MKDEVALLOC(8) Maintenance Commands and Procedures MKDEVALLOC(8)
NAME
mkdevalloc - Make device_allocate entries
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/mkdevallocDESCRIPTION
The
mkdevalloc command writes to standard out a set of
device_allocate(5) entries describing the system's frame buffer,
audio and removable media devices.
The
mkdevalloc command is used by the
init.d(5) scripts to create or
update the
/etc/security/device_allocate file.
Entries are generated based on the device special files found in
/dev. For the different categories of devices, the
mkdevalloc command checks for the following files under
/dev:
audio /dev/audio, /dev/audioctl, /dev/sound/...
tape /dev/rst*, /dev/nrst*, /dev/rmt/...
floppy /dev/diskette, /dev/fd*, /dev/rdiskette, /dev/rfd*
removable disk /dev/sr*, /dev/nsr*, /dev/dsk/c0t?d0s?, /dev/rdsk/c0t?d0s?
frame buffer /dev/fb
All entries set the
device-minimum and
device-maximum fields to the
hex representations of
ADMIN_LOW and
ADMIN_HIGH, respectively. The
device-authorization field is set to
solaris.device.allocate, except
for the
framebuffer entry, where it is set to
*. The
device-name,
device-type and
device-clean fields are set to the following values:
device-name device-type device-clean
audio audio audio audio_clean_wrapper
tape mag_tape_0,1,... st st_clean
floppy floppy_0,1,... fd disk_clean
removable disk cdrom_0,1,... sr disk_clean
frame buffer framebuffer fb /bin/true
