Are you using devfs? If so, then you need to add these few lines to /etc/devfsd.conf # Uncomment this if you want permissions to be saved and restored # Do not do this for pseudo-terminal devices REGISTER ^pt[sy] IGNORE CREATE ^pt[sy] IGNORE CHANGE ^pt[sy] IGNORE DELETE ^pt[sy] IGNORE REGISTER .* COPY /lib/dev-state/$devname $devpath CREATE .* COPY $devpath /lib/dev-state/$devname CHANGE .* COPY $devpath /lib/dev-state/$devname DELETE .* CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink /lib/dev-state/$devname RESTORE /lib/dev-state Make sure you have the directory /lib/dev-state (mkdir -p /lib/dev-state).
