Hi,

you want /dev/devfs.conf (see devfs(8) for more details).

E.g.:

# Commonly used by many ports
link    acd0    cdrom
perm    cdrom   0660
own     cdrom   root:operator

# burncd
perm    acd0    0660

# xcdroast
perm    xpt0    0660
perm    pass0   0660


This will make your setting persisting over reboots.
In order to apply your changes to that file (without rebooting),
simply run (as root)

/etc/rc.d/devfs restart
