Roland, thanks. Kris, I'd read "man devfs", but couldn't wrap my head around it in the time available. The comments in this email are for the benefit of future readers.
I solved my issue my implementing a ruleset as Roland had suggested in his webpage, and applied the ruleset. And yes, the man page helped me through this process. ***** /etc/devfs.rules [chuck_usb=10] add path 'da*' mode 0660 group usb add path 'cua*' mode 0666 ***** /etc/rc.conf # Set the default devfs ruleset. devfs_system_ruleset="chuck_usb" ***** This is a sample of what I did at the commandline. # /sbin/devfs rule -s 10 add path 'cua*' mode 0666 # /sbin/devfs ruleset 10 apply # ls -laF /dev/cua* crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 12, 152 Apr 2 14:00 /dev/cuaU0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 12, 155 Apr 1 00:38 /dev/cuaU0.init crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 12, 154 Apr 1 00:38 /dev/cuaU0.lock crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 70 Apr 1 00:38 /dev/cuad0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 65 Apr 1 00:38 /dev/cuad0.init crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 64 Apr 1 00:38 /dev/cuad0.lock I wasn't able to correctly "add path" directly. #devfs add path 'cua*' mode 0666 devfs: unknown command: add # devfs rule add path 'cua*' mode 0666 devfs rule: ioctl DEVFSIO_RADD: Input/output error Now I can hotsync and backup my Palm with Kpilot. Yay!
