Exactly, you can't use symlinks with the passwd(1) and pwd_mkdb(8)

Hi everyone,
I have noticed quite some time ago a strange way in which some basic
FreeBSD utilities work, related to symlinks. Example session:

thanks for your patch - I think this _will_ be useful. Since there are
security implications in giving arbitrary jail root users access to their
own /dev/mem, /dev/kmem, and /dev/io devices, the ability to run `top`
without these items is very useful.

Glad it working... but what you did
I saw the NEW_TRANS code and that seems definitely the way to code. A
lot of work though.
There are other commands that can get sent, though -- inquiry, test unit
ready, and start/stop unit are all 6 byte commands, and there are no 10
byte SCSI equivalents. So how do you handle those now?
Has anyone experience with low speed multi port
