working with dbsd-tools

2006-08-13 Thread Jonathan Horne
i almost have desktopbsd tools working perfectly... except that i cannot mount 
usb drives without opening a terminal as root, and chmoding /dev/da* to 660.

how can i cause new devices (such as da*) to be created with proper 
permissions to let me mount it without becomming root to do so?  ive already 
set up my devd.conf, and cdrom is working (but that one doesnt 
disappear/reappear like usb devices do).

thanks,
jonathan

You can use devfs.rules for this.  The manpage has an example
that is probably pretty close to what you need:

[localrules=10]
add path 'da*s*' mode 0660 group usb
