Hi

Recently installed AMD64 6.3-stable and I am having a problem with
devfs.conf and /dev.  I understand the entries in devfs.conf should modify
the permissions on devices in /dev.  For some reason or other this is not
happening.  Can anyone shed some light on this?  What am I doing wrong?

This is the core of devfs.conf


# Access ATAPI CDROM

own    /dev/acd0       root:wheel
perm    /dev/acd0       0666

# Access SCSI CDROM

own    /dev/cd0        root:wheel
perm    /dev/cd0        0666

# Access floppy disk

own    /dev/fd0        root:wheel
perm    /dev/fd0        0666

# Access printer

own    lpt0    root:wheel
perm    lpt0    0660

#Access ATAPICAM devices

perm    xpt0    0666
perm    xpt1    0666

perm    pass0   0666
perm    pass1   0666


# Access USB devices

own    /dev/da0        root:wheel
perm    /dev/da*        0666

Thanks
