This check reports special device files that are not located in the /dev directory (or in the /devices directory on Solaris). Special device files outside this directory can be used to gain unauthorized access to data on the device. Enter full path names and wildcard characters in the file list to specify files and directories to be excluded from the check. For example, you would enter /proc/* to exclude all files in the /proc directory. Enter the file-type proceeded by a pipe character to exclude files of that type. For example, you would enter CHAR to exclude character device files. Available file-types are CHAR and BLOCK.
The following table lists the error message for the check.
