I guess you could argue that these are more like executable system configuration files, along with others like /etc/start_if.iface.

cp MAKEDEV /dev - on a system with devfs
Hi, In /usr/src/etc/Makefile: "make distribution" is still trying to copy MAKEDEV to /dev on a system with devfs mounted to /dev. Since devfs is default, is this behaviour correct or my /etc/make.conf is missing something ? regards, -- Jean Louis Ntakpe Texas Instruments - Freising [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wafer Fab Automation Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] Haggerty Str. 1 85350 Freising Telefon +49 (8161) 80-3816 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
