Is there a canonical way of preserving devfs rules (device permissions actually) across reboots? It seems devd.conf works only for "static" devices, not hotplugged, while devfs rules works for those, but they vanish on reboot.

I think somewhat more userfriendly documentation and examples for the whole devfs stuff is sorely missed not just by me... -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

For some hints, 'man devfs' and /etc/defaults/devfs.rules. -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ http://www.exit.com/blog/frank/

That's not true. devd devinitely deals with hotplugged devices. I
use it all the time.
