Colleges,

   /dev/nrmt0h suddenly became a regular file, as opposed to
   "character special ..." (we are now in the process of determining
   how this happened). The device was reconstructed by using "mknod",
   the major and minor device numbers gotten from a similar machine on
   our site. My questions are:

   a. in general, how can the mayor and minor device numbers be determined?

   b. is there a script/utility in digital unix that automatically creates
      these devices ?

   The system is a dec axp 3000/900, running digital unix 3.2c
      $ uname -a
      OSF1 itzamn.ath.epa.gov V3.2 148 alpha

Thank you,
