From d823f6bfec2844493c05961133895de21fa0e02d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Zefan Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2008 10:00:07 -0700 Subject: devcgroup: fix odd behaviour when writing 'a' to devices.allow # cat /devcg/devices.list a *:* rwm # echo a > devices.allow # cat /devcg/devices.list a *:* rwm a 0:0 rwm This is odd and maybe confusing. With this patch, writing 'a' to devices.allow will add 'a *:* rwm' to the whitelist. Also a few fixes and updates to the document. Signed-off-by: Li Zefan Cc: Pavel Emelyanov Cc: Serge E.
