In fact, I know very little about how devfs works -- I just wanted to put something here so as not to get too out of date when 5.X arrives. I think there is actually some conf file in which you can not only specify such links but also give writablility permissions to users/groups. I saw something once about this in a discussion somewhere. I'll ask on freebsd-questions or browse the web, and hopefully be able to say something better about this. -r >How-To-Repeat: about adding a note here that DEVFS links are not persistent, and >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: keramida State-Changed-When: Mon Jul 1 08:41:19 PDT 2002 State-Changed-Why: Misfiled followup of docs/31653. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=39837 >Unformatted:
