The README.xxxBSD file which comes with the sources of cdrecord explain who to create these device entries. If you don't want to use cdrecord, click on this link: http://www.best.com/~spadger/README.xxxBSD However, I would like to know _why_ are these minor numbers needed by the "su" driver. I examined the "su" sources to no avail. -- JM ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jose M.
