Hi,
Thanks very much for the list, it looks pretty complete to
me.
There's a strange thing going on though. I saved the list
to "device_names.txt" and then ran
ls -l `cat device_names.txt`
The ls program successfuly found all the file names on the
list. However, some of them didn't seem to show up as devices,
only as files. When I did
ls -l `cat device_names.txt` | grep -v ,
to grep removed all lines containing a "," I got the following
output
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Administ None 0 Jan 1 1970 /dev/dgsocket
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Administ None 0 Jan 1 1970 /dev/streamsocket
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Administ None 0 Jan 1 1970 /dev/tcp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Administ None 0 Jan 1 1970 /dev/udp
Which seems to show that these "devices" exist, but they're not
devices, just zero size files!
Any idea what's going on with this ??
Thanks,
/John Vincent.
