is there a "knob" for devfs rules?

[John Reynolds]

Hi all, in debugging /dev/usb* and /dev/ugen* permissions problems so that I
could access my digital camera as a mere-mortal user, I came across this
posting to -questions:

  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1203173+1206388+/usr/local/www/db/text/2003/freebsd-questions/20030622.freebsd-questions

Indeed what Jesse posted worked like a charm:

  devfs ruleset 10
  devfs rule add path 'ugen*' mode 664

Since the ugen* devices are "dynamic," putting entries in /etc/devfs.conf
doesn't work unless you "restart" devfs once the camera is turned on. Thus, the
rule above works nicely.

He had asked in the mail where the "appropriate" place for these commands
should be, but the thread ended there. So, I pose the question to this list. I
didn't see anything in /etc/defaults/rc.conf regarding devfs.

So, would the "appropriate" thing be to create a .sh file in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d which contained the rule commands one would want and just
have them be applied via this mechanism once it was very clear that devfs was
up and running, etc.?

Thanks,

-Jr
