You have several choices, all of which involve expanding the privileges that
the other users have:
	1. Letting them log in as root
	2. making the mknod command SUID
	3. installing sudo

Subject: [rtl] make devices ?


Hi All,

I have started using the RTlinux 3.1 package on Redhat 7.1 but have a
problem when performing 'make devices'.

It only works if I log in as root (which I can).

I have several other developers who might need to perform the 'make
devices' command also, and they do not have root privileges and will not
gain root privileges, so how can I get the 'make devices' run.
The problem is that non-root users cannot use the 'mknod' command.

Hope someone has an answer (and I'm not interested in fakeroot)
