Yup, that's the one
I find udev to be a wonderful solution to a tricky problem, but be
warned - it has a history of changing rapidly with confusing results.
But having said that it does seem to have stabilised nicely in recent

thus achieving perfection in design.
The wiki page is a good read and an excellent thing to know a lot about
IMHO
