I've often thought that owner, group, and mode should be defaulted in the registration process for the device. This would let defaults be set in the source code, so in the worst case, you can rebuild the kernel to get them. This would also allow low granularity persistance to be handled in teh same way that kernel visual configuration handles it, or by minimally permitting modification of the data section of the kernel binary. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
