Poul-Henning, many thanks for you kind guidance to the wonderful world of devfs (which I never had to tweak in the past) ;-) On Mon, Oct 20, 2003 at 01:44:50PM +0200, Poul-Henning Kamp wrote: > I would probably just use a wildcard: > perm ugen* 0666 The wildcard feature is really fine !

Good hint ! Thanks ! Well and now things work like expected. I put these devfs commands now into /etc/rc.local. But since /etc/rc.local officially has gone, I think this is not the best place ... After a longer examination of /etc/devfs, /etc/rc.subr /etc/defaults/devfs.rules and /etc/defaults/rc.conf I got the clue, that I can put the statements into /etc/devfs.rules. Hint: here again we seem to be missing a manpage: devfs.rules(5). In /etc/rc.subr you see for example a reference to this manpage, but it doesn't exist.
