7.4 Special files

Access to following files are special.
  1. /dev/tty* /dev/pts /dev/ptmx, /dev/vcs*,/dev/vcsa*
    If you write allow for those file, this does nothing. Access control to these files must be done by allowdev.
  2. /proc, /sysfs, /selinux, /dev/tmpfs
    Allow to these files do nothing, because these files are mounted on filesystems that do not support xattr. See allowfs. For /selinux see allowpriv getsecurity.
