A suggestion Keith made a while back is that for the MODLOAD action, I
could use: modprobe -C.
This way, I could ship (and install) a generic configuration file with
devfsd, and that file could then include /etc/modules.conf which would
contain the personalisations.
It would ensure that when people install devfsd, they get a basic
working configuration without needing to take any further steps. It
also allows me to ship updates more quickly (I don't have to wait for
Linus, since the sample modules configuration file would no longer be
in the kernel source tree).
What do you think of this idea?
