Re: Device Perms in 5.3

2005-01-08 Thread Daniel S. Haischt
I don't know whether this has been brought to the table before,
but why don't you set your perms in /etc/devfs.conf.
You know if you are using devfs you should also use the
appropriate configuration file ...

How can I peg device permissions the way I want them...other than 
using it on a daily basis as root?

man devfs

Or you could write a script to do it every time you boot. But 'man 
devfs' will probably tell you the correct way to do it.

Device Perms in 5.3
