Is devd supposed to replace usbd and pccardd in 5.0, or is it more : of a longer-term development? After commenting out the logging section : of devd.conf I managed to get it running, and it does seem to be working : properly. It will likely be turned on by default in 5.2. Not every daemon in the system has a sysinstall option (I never use sysinstall, so never think to add anything to it). At this point, I consider devd to be stable and reliable. The bugs I know about are obscure for most normal users of devd. The logging stuff has been commented out in the latest sources too. Warner
