[net.unix-wizards] Repeat request: why does Bell mknod

silver (02/28/83)

The UCB version does NOT require this.  Since mknod(2) requires 
geteuid() == 0, why make the command also require getuid() == 0?

Sorry to repeat the request, but I haven't gotten a good answer
yet.  Surely someone knows!  Please mail me if you do.  Thanks!!
