Hello everyone...  I am writing a STREAMS device driver on a SCO platform and
I have the following problem: 

When I open the device.. I get a warning from "5sialloc" saying that
the opened file with its  i-node has no rdev value.. I checked my open
entry point and i see nothing wrong with it.. what would be the cause of
such a message?? any hint or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance...
