DESCRIPTION

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

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

21
22       Entries are generated based on the device special files found in  /dev.
23       For  the  different categories of devices, the mkdevmaps command checks
24       for the following files under /dev:
25
26         audio           /dev/audio, /dev/audioctl, /dev/sound/...
27         tape            /dev/rst*, /dev/nrst*, /dev/rmt/...
28         floppy          /dev/diskette, /dev/fd*, /dev/rdiskette, /dev/rfd*
29         removable disk  /dev/dsk/c0t?d0s?, /dev/rdsk/c0t?d0s?
