Hi!

Is there any reason to let the default permissions so unrestictive??
E.g. line printer and scsi tape are world read-/writeable by default!

Here you need to change them anyway, so it would be very reasonable to
start with root.root 600.

Okay, it's not the fault of devfs core, but why are drivers
registering their nodes this way?


Regards,
                Robert
