Hi. I've seen the question once before, but it was not answered (on-list ?), so now that I run in on it, I'd like to know what to do: On FreeBSD 4.x, without devfs, the following worked: ( echo foo | tee /dev/fd/3 | tr f F ) 3>&1 It should produce both "foo" and "Foo" FreeBSD 5 with devfs, however, does not create a /dev/fd/3 upon opening filedescriptor 3 by the shell, so there's no device to write to... How can I fix or circumvent this, aside from mounting a ufs partition with mknod-ed files over /dev/fd ? Zlo
