 Attached is a manual page for devfs.conf. Would it be possible to get it
 into 5.4?

 =2EDt DEVFS.CONF 5
 =2EOs
 =2ESh NAME
 =2ENm devfs.conf
 =2ENd boot-time devfs configuration information
 =2ESh DESCRIPTION
 The
 =2ENm
 file provides an easy way to set ownership and premissions and create links
 for devices available at boot.
 =2EPp
 It does not work for devices plugged in and out during operations, e.g. usb
 devices. See
 =2EXr devfs.rules 5
 for setting ownership and permissions for all device nodes, and
 =2EXr usbd.conf 5=20
 for actions to be taken when USB devices are attached or detached.
 =2EPp
 Lines starting with a hash sign '#' and empty lines are ignored. Lines
 consist of three parameters separated by whitespace. The first parameter is
 always the action to take, the second is always the existing device created
 by devfs, and the last is the argument to the action. Possible actions are
 =2EPa link ,
 =2EPa own
 and
 =2EPa perm.
 The name of the action is only significant to the first unique character.
 =2EPp
 The
 =2EPa link
 action creates a symbolic link from a device created by devfs to the name
 you specified as the third parameter.
 =2EPp
 The=20
 =2EPa own
 action changes the ownership of a device. The third parameter must be in
 the form of an <owner>:<group> pair as in
 =2EXr chown 8 .
 =2EPp
 The=20
 =2EPa perm
 action changes the permissions of a device. The third paramater must be a
 =2EPa mode
 as explained in
 =2EXr chmod 1 .
 =2ESh EXAMPLES
 =2EBl -tag -width "own cd0 root:cdrom"
 =2EIt Li "link cd0 cdrom"
 create a link named
 =2EPa cdrom
 to the
 =2EPa cd0
 device.
 =2EIt Li "own cd0 root:cdrom"
 set the group for the
 =2EPa cd0
 device to
 =2EPa cdrom .
 =2EIt Li "perm cd0 0660"
 make the
 =2EPa cd0
 device owner and group read- and writable.
 =2EEl
 =2ESh FILES
 =2EBl -tag -compact
 =2EIt Pa /etc/devfs.conf
 =2EIt Pa /usr/share/examples/etc/devfs.conf

Comment 1 Mark Linimon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2005-05-02 02:38:53 UTC
Responsible Changed
From-To: gnats-admin->freebsd-doc

Rescue this PR from the 'pending' category. 

However, since the patch was sent using quoted-printable, it is 
probably too mangled to be used.
Comment 2 Remko Lodder freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2005-05-02 16:43:43 UTC
Responsible Changed
From-To: freebsd-doc->simon

Simon grabbed these PR's, so my guess is this should be with him as well.
Comment 3 rsmith 2005-05-07 13:00:38 UTC
If the attached manual page is too mangled by the quoted-printable
encoding, please fetch it from my freebsd page:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/freebsd/

Responsible Changed
From-To: simon->keramida

Grab this PR from Simon.  I have a version of the manpages ready for commit    
and he said it's ok to get these PRs off him.
