Should we still be using coldplug or hotplug or has udev robustly replaced cold and hotplug? Now on an old i586 (K-6 amd) firewall, that has iptables and not much else installed. should I still use cold/hot plug? I use to add cold/hot plug to the startup scripts (rc-update) to the defautl run level, but, I not so certain that's a good idea, necessary or may just be another (potential) security risk on a minimal firewall.... The latest udev? An explanation combined with a recommendation would be keen..... James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
