Uh, maybe _you_ do. _I_ don't. For most of my chroots, I want the chroot to have as minimal a set of devices as still allows it to do its job, and in particular I do not want it to ever dynamically acquire new devices, nor do I want it to have /dev entries for devices not necessary for its task. I not infrequently want unusual ownerships or permissions on its /dev, too. I also want to be able to have device nodes places other than /dev, and that desire is at least mostly orthogonal to chroot. A devfs that could be configured that way, well, maybe. Most of the ones I've seen can't, but I haven't been staying au courant with them. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
