Hmm.. works for me. /opt/owfs/bin/owfs --foreground -u /mnt/1wire stays in foreground. > matter what. Second, there is no debugging output for owfs or owserver. > This seems quite wrong to me.

You're right about the debug messages, though with a working foreground, it's easy to trace problems (I use printfs myself). Actually, there are no end of printfs scatered around that can be uncommented.
