Adding to the audit trail the relevant text from PRs docs/39837, docs/39839, docs/39857 and docs/39869: : Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 05:25:57 -0700 (PDT) : From: Ross Lippert <ripper@eskimo.com> : To: keramida@FreeBSD.org : Cc: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org : : Aside for the below, I'll incorporate your current comments and get : the new version out tonight. : : >will have to be created every time the system reboots? :-) : : Good point about the impermanence of devfs. In fact, I know very little : about how devfs works -- I just wanted to put something here so as not : to get too out of date when 5.X arrives. : : I think there is actually some conf file in which you can not only specify : such links but also give writablility permissions to users/groups. I saw : something once about this in a discussion somewhere. : : I'll ask on freebsd-questions or browse the web, and hopefully be able to : say something better about this. : Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 05:32:01 -0700 (PDT) : From: Ross Lippert <ripper@eskimo.com> : To: keramida@FreeBSD.org : Cc: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org : : Oh, and sorry about the white-space.

I saw : > something once about this in a discussion somewhere. : : In recent CURRENT versions there are /etc/rc.devfs (the usual place : where custom DEVFS links/permissions or other persistent state can be : added), and (for those of us who have adopted rc_ng, the NetBSD style : rc-scripts) there is always /etc/rc.d/devfs. : : > I'll ask on freebsd-questions or browse the web, and hopefully be able to : > say something better about this. : : No need. I can do that. Work on the rest of the chapter, and I'll : add what is needed to make the DEVFS part a bit more detailed. : Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 18:40:53 -0700 (PDT) : From: Ross Lippert <ripper@eskimo.com> : To: keramida@FreeBSD.org : Cc: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org : : >> directly. Since you are likely to be dissatisfied with : > dissatisfied => disappointed ? : : Actually, I think dissatisfied is the right choice of words.

State Changed From-To: open->closed I committed this stuff a while ago but forgot to close the PR. |
