: One of my application vendors is saying that the modem need to be connected in the cosole tty0A so that their software can page out. So how do I rename tty1A to tty0A. Can I achive this just by deleting the device files and recreating them with different major/minor numbers? and making changes in /etc/initab and /etc/init.d/conf/sio files?. Also I rename the console devie to tty1A what other files I need to edit.
No. you are completely misunderstanding device files (Read
Devices
Just make a link:
cd /dev
ln tty1a tty0a
ln tty1A tty0A
Oh, and BTW: your app vendor is an idiot. Don't trust 'em for anything.
