Re: [Re: [gentoo-dev] Devfs permissions ?! [was:Permissions to dial out ?]]

Thanks, Daniel,

I added the appropriate permissions to devfsd.conf and now it works, the perms
are stored (or regenerated accordingly).

What is the storing system are you referring to? If I disable the
"Automatically mount devfs at kernel boot" option, then I do not have the
devfs at all, so I went back to the old file based system. Is this correct?
