The contents of /dev/ really don't need audited, in a devfs world, like they
might be in a non-devfs one. For example hiding rootkits in /dev/wd0./foo
or /dev/somedev0/ or whatever isn't really quite the issue it may have ever
been. People who read too much into the contents of a devfs /dev should not
be too surprised if the results are dodgy. What with cloning and all.
