IIRC, usbd is/will be deprecate
I agree that a more flexible approach is generally better, but since
it's not necessary I don't want to create an extra entry in my
/etc/usbd.conf (one more file to worry about during mergemaster).
Thus I think the best solution would be to dump devfs.conf and
/etc/rc.d/devfs entirely (or leave it

There is one kind of thing I cannot do in /etc/devfs.rules, creating
links. So I am still doing this in /etc/devfs.conf (links don't cause
race conditions anyway, I hope).
One would think that "link ttyU0 pilot" would simply be translated to
"ln -s /dev

I hacked together the current mess over two and a half years ago for one
simple reason, so that the functionality that used to be in the system prior
to rcNG would still be there. Since then, we've had roughly 18 rounds of
this same discussion, but no one has actually stepped up to do the work of

Agreed. I've posted a patch in this thr

Here is a small patch for /etc/rc.d/devfs which makes it behave the way
I suggested in my last mail.

Well, here are my conclusions.
1)
The manpage for devfs.rules should mention that you have to set
devfs_system_ruleset="yourruleset"
in /etc/rc.conf . I didn't see it anywhere.

I have transferred all the rules in /etc/devfs.conf to /etc/devfs.rules,
because I don't like to have 2 solutions f

It's a simple and working solution and I think it simply should be made
default for ALL attach events. To me it makes more sense than having 2
different systems for the same thing.
Anyway, now I'm going to set up a devfs.rules (and learn a new different
syntax for doing exactly the same thing). Th

On my FreeBSD 6-stable (the last build is less then 24hours ago) my
devfs doesn't apply permissions set in /etc/devfs.conf when I attach new
devices. I have to call:
/etc/rc.d/devfs restart
manually for the settings to be applied. This is rather uncomfortable in
some cases (especially with my PDA).
