makedev (2.3.1-70) unstable; urgency=medium

 -- Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>  Thu, 27 May 2004 22:50:44 +0200

makedev (2.3.1-69) unstable; urgency=medium

  * one more tweak to the udev detection
  * put $tty back to 0666, use it for /dev/tty (instead of $public which is
    group root) and for pty devices.  no other devices still use $tty...  It
    turns out I already fixed the /dev/tty[0-9]* permissions way back in -59,
    we just hadn't done anything in postinst to force them tighter on upgrade,
    ergo the confusion in -67 and -68.  [large sigh]
  * MAKEDEV creates /dev/tty[0-9]* as 0600, and mesg wiggles the group write 
    bit, so make the postinst do 'chmod g-r,o= /dev/tty[0-9]*' instead of "o="

  * mountpoint -q doesn't work in all cases to detect udev, try a different
    approach, closes: #245777, #245739
  * have the postinst do '/bin/chmod o= /dev/tty[0-9]*' to further address
    the console DOS potential raised in bug #244751

 -- Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com>  Sun, 25 Apr 2004 16:14:25 -0600

makedev (2.3.1-67) unstable; urgency=medium

  * change default permission on tty devices from 0666 to 0660, which makes
    denial of service attacks on the console by local users harder,
    closes: #244751
  * if udev is running and we're in /dev, relocate to /etc/udev/.dev/,
    thus avoiding the need for a diversion, closes: #245441

makedev (2.3.1-40) frozen unstable; urgency=low

  * fix flakey code for discovering proper major numbers for several device
    types.  This broke the raidtools postinst in some cases, which I think
    makes this worth adding to frozen, even though there's no bug in the BTS
    about it (problem reported and fixed during an IRC session).  There are
    still a few potential major number problems in MAKEDEV, but they're all
    for obscure devices that are not in devices.txt, and which I'll therefore 
    probably remove entirely when rewriting makedev for woody.
