Things that configure important features like /dev must come before users might try to use them. The current setup is extra nonsensical because devd is already running when rc.d/devfs starts beating on things in /dev. I'll commit the following patch soon if there are no objections. -- Brooks Index: devfs =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/etc/rc.d/devfs,v retrieving revision 1.9 diff -u -p -r1.9 devfs --- devfs 7 Oct 2004 13:55:25 -0000 1.9 +++ devfs 21 Oct 2004 15:12:52 -0000 @@ -4,8 +4,7 @@ # =20 # PROVIDE: devfs -# REQUIRE: LOGIN -# BEFORE: securelevel +# BEFORE: NETWORKING securelevel # KEYWORD: nojail =20 . /etc/rc.subr --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
