[Asterisk-Users] /dev/zap/ctl or /dev/zapctl cause ztdummy in init.d failed

[Steve Ringwald]

Are you running udev? If so, you need to follow the directions in 
README.udev...

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Fedora+Core+3


    Help!: line 146: Unable to open master device '/dev/zap/ctl'

You are probably running udev and don't know it.. were you paying 
attention during the make? If you were, you would have seen this fly by:
**** Dynamic filesystem detected -- not creating device nodes
**** If you are running udev, read README.udev

If you didn't, try doing a:

[root at localhost zaptel]# make devices


In your zaptel directory and see if it comes up.. If it does, view the 
suggested README.udev.

*Run "udevstart" to re-read the new configuration and to create the zap 
nodes.*

*Note:* My Fedora Core 3 install which came with a 2.6.9 kernel did just 
this. If you follow the directions in README.udev, you will fix this.
