fbtab(5)

NAME

fbtab - change device protection upon login

DESCRIPTION

The fbtab file contains a number of lines specifying a de

vice together
with a list of devices with associated protections. Com

ments start with
a `#' and extend to the end of the line.

Blank lines or lines with only a comment are ignored.

All other lines consist of three fields delimited by whites

pace: a login
device (/dev/ttyv0), an octal permission number (0600), and

a colon (`:')
delimited list of device patterns (/dev/console, /dev/dsp*).

All device
patterns are absolute paths.

If the tty argument (relative path) matches a login device

name (absolute
path), the permissions of the devices in the colon-delimited

list are set
as specified in the second field, and their ownership is

changed to that
of the UID and GID arguments.
