Try 0775 (that's a decent permissions setup--read, write, exec for oliver and wheel group; read, write for all) or 0770 (read, write for oliver / wheel group, permission denied for all) or something similar. You can also run chmod or chown as root to set things up properly, instead of with /etc/devfs.conf (if you don't mind that). -Garrett
