I have a laptop machine that's giving me some strange warnings about devfs. When I installed the version of FreeBSD that runs on it, as well as Xfce as the desktop, I edited /etc/devfs.rules with: [localrules = 5] add path 'da*' mode 0600 group operator and added this to /etc/rc.conf: devfs_system_ruleset="localrules" (I started doing this several years ago with an earlier version of FreeBSD with Gnome 2 as the desktop so that I could mount USB drives.) I get the following while booting the machine: /etc/rc.d/devfs: WARNING: devfs_init_rulesets: could not read rules from /etc/defaults/devfs.rules /etc/rc.d/devfs: WARNING: devfs_set_ruleset: you must specify a ruleset number /etc/rc.d/devfs: WARNING: devfs_apply_ruleset: you must specify a ruleset I'm not sure what's going on and what I should do to fix this. The reason I'm asking is that I want to set up that laptop machine to run a scanner and a printer and I believe I have to edit /etc/devfs.rules for that. B. M. Jatzeck
