devfs permissions wierdness

[Louis LeBlanc]

I have my devfs config set up to allow certain devices to be mounted
by users in the cdusers group as follows:

own     da1     root:cdusers
perm    da1     0660
own     da1a    root:cdusers
perm    da1a    0660
own     da1c    root:cdusers
perm    da1c    0660
own     da1s1   root:cdusers
perm    da1s1   0660

Problem is it doesn't work unless I go in as root and manually restart
the devfs facility with `/etc/rc.d/devfs restart`

Here's what I see:

<root># ls -l /dev/da1*      
crw-r-----  1 root  operator    4,  27 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1
crw-r-----  1 root  operator    4,  29 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1a
crw-r-----  1 root  operator    4,  30 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1c
crw-r-----  1 root  operator    4,  31 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1cs1
crw-r-----  1 root  operator    4,  28 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1s1
<root># /etc/rc.d/devfs restart
<root># ls -l /dev/da1*
crw-rw----  1 root  cdusers     4,  27 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1
crw-rw----  1 root  cdusers     4,  29 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1a
crw-rw----  1 root  cdusers     4,  30 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1c
crw-r-----  1 root  operator    4,  31 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1cs1
crw-rw----  1 root  cdusers     4,  28 Jun 26 23:02 /dev/da1s1
<root># 

Seems like this resets itself every now and again to the
root:operator/640 permissions too, and not just on reboot.

Anyone know what I'm missing?

TIA
Lou
