NAME
       fbtab --	change device protection upon login

DESCRIPTION
       The  fbtab file contains	a number of lines specifying a device together
       with a list of devices with  associated	protections.   Comments	 start
       with a `#' and extend to	the end	of the line.

       Blank lines or lines with only a	comment	are ignored.

       All  other lines	consist	of three fields	delimited by whitespace: a lo-
       gin device (/dev/ttyv0),	an octal permission number (0600), and a colon
       (`:') delimited list of device patterns (/dev/console, /dev/dsp*).  All
       device patterns are absolute paths.

       If the tty argument (relative path) matches a login  device  name  (ab-
       solute  path),  the  permissions	 of the	devices	in the colon-delimited
       list are	set as specified in the	second field, and their	 ownership  is
       changed to that of the UID and GID arguments.

FILES
       /etc/fbtab  The fbtab file resides in /etc.

SEE ALSO
       login(1), getty(8)
