System Administration Commands                      mkdevmaps(1M)



NAME
     mkdevmaps - make device_maps entries

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/mkdevmaps


DESCRIPTION
     The mkdevmaps command  writes  to  standard  out  a  set  of
     device_maps(4) entries describing the system's frame buffer,
     audio, and removable media devices.


     The mkdevmaps command is used by the  init.d(4)  scripts  to
     create or update the /etc/security/device_maps file.


     Entries are generated based  on  the  device  special  files
     found  in /dev. For the different categories of devices, the
     mkdevmaps command checks for the following files under /dev:

       audio           /dev/audio, /dev/audioctl, /dev/sound/...
       tape            /dev/rst*, /dev/nrst*, /dev/rmt/...
       floppy          /dev/diskette, /dev/fd*, /dev/rdiskette, /dev/rfd*
       removable disk  /dev/dsk/c0t?d0s?, /dev/rdsk/c0t?d0s?
       frame buffer    /dev/fb
