Description papowell 1999-08-15 19:40:00 UTC 
The man page for chown indicates that user:group is syntax
However,  /dev/MAKEDEV uses user.group syntax.  This is a nit,
but you should try to keep system level facilities compliant
with the documentation.

Fix: 

change root.xxx to root:xxx in /dev/MAKEDEV
How-To-Repeat: Read the /dev/MAKEDEV and man chown.
grep chown /dev/MAKEDEV and examine the lines
