Ok, apologies for pressing send on my email program too soon (see previous message). And million thanks to everyone who contributed with their ideas.
The problem is now solved (wait, there is the next problem). I followed the strategy of disabling services and re-enabling them. Now I found the offending service (or one causing this behavior). That is the good news. The bad news is that it is DEVFSD. Ok, I am an end-user, I am trying to use my Linux box purely as my desktop. Reading the "man" on devfsd left me very confused. Could I just leave devfsd off (sounds like not so good idea). Or should I do something about it to get to the bottom of it? Any thoughts? Saku
