Re: is there a knob for devfs rules?
Check out the header comments in the recently created /etc/defaults/devfs.rules and the new rc.conf variable devfs_system_ruleset. In your case below, you'd probably need an /etc/devfs.rules like: # Create local ruleset [local_ruleset=10] add path 'ugen*' mode 664 And then you'd add the following line to /etc/rc.conf: devfs_system_ruleset=local_ruleset On Sunday 31 August 2003 10:44 pm, John Reynolds wrote: Hi all, in debugging /dev/usb* and /dev/ugen* permissions problems so that I could access my digital camera as a mere-mortal user, I came across this posting to -questions: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1203173+1206388+/usr/lo cal/www/db/text/2003/freebsd-questions/20030622.freebsd-questions Indeed what Jesse posted worked like a charm: devfs ruleset 10 devfs rule add path 'ugen*' mode 664 Since the ugen* devices are dynamic, putting entries in /etc/devfs.conf doesn't work unless you restart devfs once the camera is turned on. Thus, the rule above works nicely. He had asked in the mail where the appropriate place for these commands should be, but the thread ended there. So, I pose the question to this list. I didn't see anything in /etc/defaults/rc.conf regarding devfs. So, would the appropriate thing be to create a .sh file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d which contained the rule commands one would want and just have them be applied via this mechanism once it was very clear that devfs was up and running, etc.?

This is what another person has suggested, but just for the archives, this is for a recent -current (as I don't have this particular knob that the rc files recognize yet). At least more recent than Aug 19th. Thanks again for the pointer.
