devfs.conf, permissions and dynamic devices

[Duane Winner]

Hello all,
Does anybody know of a solution for this problem:
I have just acquired a new Zire 31 Palm Pilot to replace my old Palm 
VII, which was a serial interface.

I figured out how to sync the Zire to jpilot over USB after compiling 
the kernel (5.3 p9) with 'device ucom' and 'device uvisor'.

The problem is that because /dev/ucom0 is created and only exists when I 
hit the HotSync button on the Palm, putting the following lines into 
/etc/devfs.conf doesn't help at all:

perm ucom0 0666
link ucom0 pilot
link ucom0 jpilot
Before I hit the Sync button in the Jpilot application, I first have to 
type at the console:

# sudo /etc/rc.d/devfs restart
It's not the end of  the world, but it would be nice to simplify things 
a little if possible. Does anybody know of an alternate solution?

Thanks,
DW

You need to configure devfs.rules check the questions and current 
archives.
