Chapter 14  MKNOD 

The MKNOD utility lets you create device link files, streams files, and
fifo files.

The security restrictions enforced with MKNOD are as follows:

   *   To create a streams file, you must have either SM or NM
       capability.

   *   To create a device link file, you must have SM capability.

   *   To create a fifo device file, you must CD access to the directory
       in which you're creating the file.
