Roland, thanks. Kris, I'd read "man devfs", but couldn't wrap my head
around it in the time available. The comments in this email are for
the benefit of future readers.
I solved my issue my implementing a ruleset as Roland had suggested in
his webpage, and applied the ruleset. And yes, the man page helped me
through this process.
*
/etc/devfs.rules
[chuck_usb=10]
add path 'da*' mode 0660 group usb
add path 'cua*' mode 0666
*
/etc/rc.conf
# Set the default devfs ruleset.
devfs_system_ruleset="chuck_usb"
*
This is a sample of what I did at the commandline.
# /sbin/devfs rule -s 10 add path 'cua*' mode 0666
# /sbin/devfs ruleset 10 apply
# ls -laF /dev/cua*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 12, 152 Apr 2 14:00 /dev/cuaU0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 12, 155 Apr 1 00:38 /dev/cuaU0.init
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 12, 154 Apr 1 00:38 /dev/cuaU0.lock
crw--- 1 root wheel 12, 70 Apr 1 00:38 /dev/cuad0
crw--- 1 root wheel 12, 65 Apr 1 00:38 /dev/cuad0.init
crw--- 1 root wheel 12, 64 Apr 1 00:38 /dev/cuad0.lock
I wasn't able to correctly "add path" directly.
#devfs add path 'cua*' mode 0666
devfs: unknown command: add
# devfs rule add path 'cua*' mode 0666
devfs rule: ioctl DEVFSIO_RADD: Input/output error
Now I can hotsync and backup my Palm with Kpilot. Yay!
