Hah - I've found the bug!
devfs.rules has to end with an empty line, otherwise the last entry is being
ignored at boot time (but strangely enough, not when doing an /etc/rc.d/devfs
restart):
An entry like
add path 'pass*' mode 660 group wheel user mark<EOF>
will be ignored, whereas
add path 'pass*' mode 660 group wheel user mark\n
<EOF>
will be honoured.
Well, this bug should be easy to fix - but as stated above, it's quite odd
that a restart works.
Regards,
Mark
