--nextPart2752695.tHEY6Mcu5O Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Hi, I want to be able to use usb drives as a normal user so I added the line : perm da0 0777 in /etc/devfs.conf But when I plug in the device, da0 and da0s1 is created with default=20 permission : [nicblais] /dev> ll da* crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 148 Oct 2 13:53 da0 crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 149 Oct 2 13:53 da0s1 Although I can mount it fine as root, I have to chmod 777 to make it work f= or=20 other users. [nicblais] /dev# chmod 777 da0* [nicblais] /dev# ll da* crwxrwxrwx 1 root operator 0, 148 Oct 2 13:53 da0* crwxrwxrwx 1 root operator 0, 149 Oct 2 13:53 da0s1* I'm assuming it would work if I left the usb drive plugged in while booting= =20 but that kinda defeats the purpose of a portable storage media. Is my entry in /etc/devfs.conf not correct? Any help appreciated, Nicolas. =2D-=20 =46reeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Sat Oct 1 11:51:38 EDT 2005 =20 root@clk01a:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CLK01A=20 PGP? : http://66.130.198.54:8081/security/nb_root.asc --nextPart2752695.tHEY6Mcu5O Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDQCCbz38ton5LGeIRAqouAKCew2YJOWDzx8cS9Hz89wPrukfdJQCgpRLU oi6J76VUw7TJToB+Vkn8hj4= =KQ/I -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2752695.tHEY6Mcu5O--
