Erm, well, actually, it is. Config files would be useful.

In any case, I'm away for holidays for 2.5 weeks, so if no-one else
can help you by then, repost your message. Stuff sent before that will
probably hit the bit-bucket.

I patched up to devfs 1.80, and everything is working much better. I am convinced that there is just general wierdness w/2.4.5, besides devfs issues. Also, the whole system got a speed boost from this upgrade ????. I tried it [180] out on several other machines, and had similar results. Especially: Connections via ssh init'd faster [i.e once you successfully authenticate..] The extremelly noticable change, was opening new terminals under X. rxvt, xterm, konsole, gnome-terminal - all opened with... unexpected quickness after the change to 180. I have no evidence to back this up. I have 2 or three systems using devfs + devpts. And 5 or 6 using devfs + a "CREATE... PERMISSIONS" rule for /dev//pts/.* in devfsd.conf. On the 2 systems w/devfs + devpts, they are running fine, and the devfs only systems are getting better w/devfs180.

On the system I was writing about, I killed the rule affecting pts/, and the system at least functioned after that. If you still want a config, I will send it. I will include more information about my problem if I have cause to post again.

thanks,
 Joshua
