Create sym-link into /dev (zone)

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi

i need to install a software into a zone, and this kind of software needs to have a file who is linked into /dev.
But it is not possible to create a link into /dev nor create a file into it.

-bash-3.00# ln -s /tmp/testfile /dev/
ln: cannot create /dev//testfile: Permission denied
-bash-3.00# touch file
touch: cannot create file: Permission denied

is there a way to bypass this problem?

Config:
OS: Solaris 10 U8
System: M4000

thx

ok, found another way how to write a file into /dev (from a zone)

# touch /zones/test/dev/file2

when i write a file into /zones/test/dev/ i can see it on the zone!!! :smiley:
