10.3 SunOS 5.X

10.3.1 Reconfiguring the /devices directory (SunOS 5.X)

Should you need to reconfigure the /devices directory you can do this with the drvconfig command. This should create the /devices directory tree from the attached hardware. It uses the dev_info tree of the kernel. The devices should be powered on when you run this command. Normally this is done for you whenever a new driver is installed with the add_drv utility and you reboot the system with the -r option. drvconfig uses the file /etc/minor_perm to determine the permissions to apply to the devices and the file /etc/name_to_major to assign major device numbers.
