Ah. I've been unaware of that. Thanks for pointing it out. Although I once said mknod /dev/id/... should be run in userland, now I believe it should be in-kernel. It's so simple. What I don't want is to dig not-truely unique strings like labels. That makes devfs responsible to resolve confliction, which in turn leads to some configuration thing, which I definitely want to avoid. Masao -- Masao Uebayashi / Tombi Inc. / Tel: +81-90-9141-4635
