If it shows up later (like a USB drive) then you need to set up some /etc/devfs.rules instead. But that doesn't get picked up until the next time devd is started. If I want to change the permissions right now, can I just go into /dev and use chmod or do I need to fool around with devfs(8)? Robert Huff devfs.rules are applied when you execute /etc/rc.d/devfs restart, and that may apply to devfs.conf too (never tried it honestly). That said, I've never had problems using chmod for temporary changes on device nodes.

devfs and changing device permissions
If I want to permanently change the permissions for a device, I add en entry to /etc/devfs.conf. Right? But that doesn't get picked up until the next time devd is started. If I want to change the permissions right now, can I just go into /dev and use chmod or do I need to fool around with devfs(8)?
