NAME
       dev.chk   -  Checks  writability  of  devices  and special
       files.

SYNOPSIS
       dev.chk [ -g ]

DESCRIPTION
       dev.chk checks the permissions of /dev/mem, /dev/kmem, and
       all  devs  listed  in  the  file  /etc/fstab for readibil-
       ity/writeability (the mount command would be a  preferable
       way of getting the file system name, but the syntax of the
       output is variable from machine  to  machine),  and  flags
       them  if  they  are readable by using the is_readable com-
       mand, unless they are NFS mounted, in which case they  are
       ignored.   It  also  checks  for unrestricted exported NFS
       filesystems in /etc/exports.

       options are:

       -g     Check for group writability as well as world.

FILES
       /etc/fstab /etc/exports
