I'm open to (clean) suggestions on what to do about this. Perhaps a
separate signal to reload the config file but don't generate the
synthetic events?
But before I make such a change, tell me why you're reloading the
config file, but don't want to change permissions? Normally, you just
send SIGHUP when /var is mounted (if that's where your permissions
have been saved).

But in general devfsd should be configured to *not* touch permissions
for PTY's, so this shouldn't be a problem. What are you doing?
