NAME
     device_maps - device_maps file

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/security/device_maps

DESCRIPTION
     The device_maps file  contains  access  control  information
     about  each physical device. Each device is represented by a
     one line entry of the form:


     device-name : device-type : device-list :



     where

     device-name             This is an  arbitrary  ASCII  string
                             naming  the  physical  device.  This
                             field  contains  no  embedded  white
                             space or non-printable characters.



     device-type             This is an  arbitrary  ASCII  string
                             naming the generic device type. This
                             field identifies and groups together
                             devices  of  like  type.  This field
                             contains no embedded white space  or
                             non-printable characters.



     device-list             This is a list of the device special
                             files  associated  with the physical
                             device. This  field  contains  valid
                             device   special   file  path  names
                             separated by white space.




     The device_maps file is an ASCII file that  resides  in  the
     /etc/security directory.

     Lines in device_maps can end with a `\' to continue an entry
     on the next line.

     Comments may also be included. A `#' makes a comment of  all
     further text until the next NEWLINE not immediately preceded
     by a `\'.
