It is the normal behaviour, /etc/rc.d/devfs is a little script that parse /etc/devfs.conf and according to it and what it find in /dev it set permissions or create links, it's purely static. One possibility is to call /etc/rc.d/devfs when a device is attached in /etc/devd.conf (take a look at devd(8) and devd.conf(5)) For exemple, I have something like this in my /etc/devd.conf : attach 100 { device-name "umass[0-9]+" ; action "/bin/sleep 3; /etc/rc.d/devfs restart" ; }; "attach" : what kind of event "100" : as usual, for ordering rules "device-name ..." : the device concerned "action ... " : what to do, here I use sleep, because action is called when the attach event arrives, not when the device node is created. There maybe a better way, but "it works"=A9 ;) --=20 Burelle Marwan, Equipe Bases de Donnees - LRI http://www.cduce.org (burelle@lri.fr | Marwan.Burelle@ens.fr) --f+W+jCU1fRNres8c Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFDnvy4I+2UvUKfgvgRAoD8AJwMSKjANhbVe4gz3ETOLwJwsRA7VwCgo9oi w/Tfce97+u/lBcMF5I+9PYA= =Xy4e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --f+W+jCU1fRNres8c--
