watch: fatal: cannot open snoop device
ssia, I can't run watch since adding more restrictive firewall rules. I don't see how that would stop watch from working.. I don't have a snp0 device..but I'm running 5.0 so I can't run MAKEDEV. I'm a bit confused about devfs and how it makes devices. In my searches, making the device seems to be the solution most of the time. How do I make the device, or is there something else it could be?

Any idea what else could be wrong? You probably just need to make the device files under /dev (assuming you're not using devfs). Thanks for using the plural s in files. I tried to # ./MAKEDEV snp which didn't work. It has to be # ./MAKEDEV snp0 snp1 etc...
