What creates those "conservative defaults" before device drivers are loaded? What happens if a device driver is loaded (i.e. built-in) before the administrator changes the permissions? Also, you you have to write the entire permissions database again? Finally, you can get a more traditional effect by doing: # ls -l /dev # chown root.lp /dev/lp*
