My conclusion was that $cdev just doesn't work in devd.conf in 8-stable. I thought it might have been a new feature in 9-current (but that was just a guess). > the permissions of /dev/video0 are created as 0600, this as well > should be changed by some lines in /usr/local/etc/devd/webcamd.conf > to 0666, I think; I'm not sure if that's the appropriate place. I opted for creating a group "video" (make s sens, IMHO), added myself to that group, and appended this line to /etc/devfs.rules: add path 'video*' mode 0660 group video The advantage of that approach is that it's independent of the way how /dev/video* gets created (whether by pwc.ko or cuse4bsd.ko + webcamd or whatever). It works in any case. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
