That would be fine. BUT, we should issue a warning that the device node should be re-MAKEDEV'ed once multi-user. Otherwise there could be a security issue [I am not sure what the owner:group will be w/o the `chown']. Not erroring out, or warning the user to re-run MAKEDEV with /usr mounted can create a bad configuration. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
