Hi,
The syntax how to set up rules seems to be explained in the man udev. I
have also found some helpful pages with google.
Basically, the udev reads the rule files in the /etc/udev/rules.d/ until
it finds a match. You might want to set up your own file for local
rules, so you don't need to mess with the system default files. To make
sure your local rules get read first, name the file e.g.
010_local.rules.
As an example, you set up the permissions for the /dev/net/tun by adding
a line:
KERNEL=="tun", NAME="net/%k", OWNER="user", GROUP="group", MODE="0666"
which means that for a device whose kernel name is "tun", set the device
name to "/dev/net/tun" (%k = kernel name) with owner "user", group
"group" and permissions crw-rw-rw-.
