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
