Just a "me too."  I tried the rule quoted above on my 6.1 release 
system, and it doesn't work here either. There are no devices attached 
to the parallel port if that makes a difference.  I have several other 
similar rules that /do/ work for ulpt, da*, and pass*, but the ltp* 
device does not respond to my devfs.rules.
