You should be mounting devfs in that directory. For convenience you can use a null mount to achieve that. Also, I'm currently working on a huge update of linuxulator, so if it doesn't work, it might well be worth waiting a while or so for me to commit the whole mess. Cheers, Alex :

I got curious about BSD (DragonFly, specifically) security and wondered why there wasn't a security process that processed all security-relevant error messages which could then be used to block IPs, disable user accounts, and kill processes. At least it'd be a step to automating *some* obvious
