No, devfs.conf does not set devfs rules, it only does a single fixup on boot. To have permissions enforced anytime a device node is created requires using a devfs rule such as via /etc/devfs.rules. See the devfs manpage for more info on how to do this. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
