I'm writing a section for the handbook on multimedia and I have a question about devfs. I am not running CURRENT, so I do not know much about how to set devfs up. The basic problem is this: many dvd playing apps either use as default or use hardcoded (god forbid, but it happens) /dev/dvd as the dvd device. And, to avoid having to run them as root, write permissions must be granted. So, what you'd like to have is # chmod 664 /dev/acd0c # ln -sf /dev/acd0c /dev/dvd # ln -sf /dev/acd0c /dev/rdvd Under 5.X, I seem to recall seeing somewhere that there is some sort of conf file in which one can specify this setup so that these commands do not need to be re-run at boot every time. Can someone tell me what is the right bit of magic I should tel people to do? -r To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
