Hi Xian et al, Here's how I went about getting devfs up and running. (I had a similar problem with permissions on my CD drive.) I think it shows a good way of going about solving FreeBSD problems. $ man devfs ... (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=devfs&sektion=5) Well, that's not very useful. Now, where would any sensible person keep devfs rules? $ man devfs.conf No manual entry for devfs.conf $ man devfs.rules No manual entry for devfs.rules Time to check the PR database - the FreeBSD bug reporting system. (OK, I cheated here because I already knew that a Problem Report existed with a fix.) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=63808 looks useful. And there's a suggested fix. We head to http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/freebsd/ and see the link to two manpages - unfortunately, they're written in a weird looking language. They're understandable, but only just. Scroll down the page to the Devfs section (about half-way down the page). Ah... I'll let you do the rest. Cheers, David Adam zanchey@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au
