The one things that gets most (all?) of the complaints is "link". There is simply no way to implement this from devfs.rules; only on devfs.conf. I want to create /dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom when my CD/DVD is plugged into my system. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
