The devfs.conf method is inappropriate for runtime because if you don't do this in the kernel (as devfs(8) does) there is a race where the device initially has the wrong permissions. IMO, devfs.conf should either be taken out and shot or a parser to turn it into devfs(8) rules should be written. The current situation is utterly lame. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE. PGP fingerprint 655D 519C 26A7 82E7 2529 9BF0 5D8E 8BE9 F238 1AD4
