Yes, that works (using /etc/devfs.rules).  Thanks.  I also got it to work
using /etc/devd.conf
 
# Yubico Security Key
attach 100 {
        match "vendor" "0x1050";
        match "product" "0x0120";
        device-name "uhid[0-9]+";
        action "/usr/sbin/chown robert /dev/$device-name";
};
 
running "usbconfig dump_device_desc" to get the vendor and product ids.
I didn't have to touch /dev/ugen1.4 or /dev/usb/1.4.0.  Not sure which is
the more correct way to do this.  But they both work.

So things now work great on the Yubico demo site.  Sadly I cannot get it
to work in Google.  Google doesn't respond when I press the gold disc
during the registration process.
