Still you will want to investigate what I've mentioned. It will
drastically simplify permission stuff as well as make automatic.
The devfs stuff is just not boottime only, but will be applied to
any new device added etc post boot.
Are you sure of that? Seems like devfs permissions are only
applied when devfs(8) apply/applyset commands are run, directly or
through /etc/rc.d/devfs.
Yeah, I am sure of that. It is what I have setup here.
/etc/devfs.conf - This one only affects boot time stuff.
/dec/devfs.rules - This one contains the rules will be applied during
and post boot. It will also require you to specify which to use in
"/etc/rc.conf" as this file can contain multiple rule sets.
Tested, and I agree. It'll set permissions on dynamically added
devices. Sorry about that.
But can I use that to dynamically set up my link to the new device when
the memory stick is inserted?
No, devfs.rules can't run arbitrary code when a device is added.
devd.conf is the place for that. Actually, create a new .conf file in
/etc/devd/ for your own customizations.
