The developers insist the ebuild is absolutely correct, but it doesn't always attempt to migrate conf changes to /etc/udev. The easiest way to fix this problem permanently is to $ sudo rm /etc/udev/{permissions,rules}.d/50-* $ sudo emerge -av udev This will blow away the default udev conf files that are causing you problems, then re-emerge udev. The updated defaults will be installed in the right place. This assumes you haven't touched the 50-* files (you put all custom changes in 10-local, right). -Chris On 16:46 Sat 18 Feb , James wrote: > Hello, >=20 > /dev/null is acting weird.
