> That brings me to another thought or 5 ;) . What about an rc.modules? Why not a /kern/modules instead, and use opendir() to iterate them, and demand load them when necessary?

Yeah, devfs is lacking, most because people insist there is a persistance "problem" that can't be solved by putting the default permissions into the device code's static data for whatever device, from which the devfs data is derived. > However the uid > filesystem thing does need to be statically compiled as does ext2, both > typos in the lint, and man pages, etc. No. Those are typos in the uid and ext2 FS code, not typos in LINT or the man pages.
