Well I put udev in my /etc/portage/package.keyworks to get the latest
version, thinking that might fix the problem. It do not.



# egrep tty 50-udev.rules <shows these lines>

KERNEL=="pty[pqrstuvwxyzabcdef][0123456789abcdef]", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty",

KERNEL=="tty[pqrstuvwxyzabcdef][0123456789abcdef]", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty",

# alias pnp:dPNP0511 irtty-sir


Likewise:

# egrep null 50-udev.rules
KERNEL=="null",         NAME="%k", MODE="0666"


Want to suggest specific changes to which lines?

It looks as though the (mode) permissions and groups are getting
set per the udev files?
