WARNING : this problem is causing a slow login : ********************************************************** At each first user login, the owner of the /dev entries are changed (devfsd?). This leads to an error when changing owner of the Zip device. Since the query and the error takes about 1,5 sec and they are repeated 3 times at login, the login is considerably slowed down, and takes up to 5 sec.
