... >With DEVFS, no such 'safety' margin exists, since the device is created >possibly with the administrator realizing it. I've already proposed a way to deal with this - you tell the system not to show new device arrivals unless they have explicit backing store (i.e. the administrator has acknowledged that the device exists and has proper permissions). Most people would not be interested in running this way, but for the security conscious, you can ask to get the old "MAKEDEV like" behavior back. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
