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  login
     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 (absolute
     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
