If I read the discussion correctly, don't look for much in the way of fixes to devfs - there is no current maintainer. All the effort will go towards udev, but I don't read that as promissing anything dramatic any time soon. Fortunately, I have no problems with devfs, but those who do may be SOL. -- Collins -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
