Dear users!
I need udev to make /dev/mymodem symlink when USB-modem is plugged in.
So, I have created this:
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/95-huawei-e15150.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="0000:00:03.3",
SYMLINK+="mymodem"
GROUP="dialout"
Now when modem is plugged in the symlink /dev/mymodem is created but
permissions are wrong:
ls -l /dev/mymodem
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 25.7. 19:01 /dev/mymodem -> bus/usb/001/026
What are the permissions on bus/usb/001/026? From my testing, if you
chown a symlink, it changes the permissions on what it points to, not on
the link itself....
I did the following:
% touch foo
% ls -l foo
-rw-rw-r-- 1 cummings cummings 0 2010-07-25 15:07 foo
% ln -s foo bar
% ls -l bar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cummings cummings 3 2010-07-25 15:08 bar -> foo
% sudo chown root:wheel bar
% ls -l foo bar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cummings cummings 3 2010-07-25 15:08 bar -> foo
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 0 2010-07-25 15:07 foo
I would like it to be owned by root:dialout.
Why 'GROUP' option doesn't work? Could anybody point me to solution of this?
TIA
