particular user and/or group and with particular permissions. In
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD 6.0 and later this can be done by creating an /etc/devfs.rules
|
||||||
|
file with content such as
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[localrules=10]
|
||||||
|
add path 'bpf*' {mode and permissons}
|
||||||
|
|

where "mode and permissions" can include clauses such as
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mode {octal permissions}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
to set the permissions on the device (e.g., "mode 0660" to set the
|
||||||
|
permissions to rw-rw-r--),
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
user {user}
|

to set the user who owns the device, or
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
group {group}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
to set the group that owns the device and adding a line such as
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
devfs_system_ruleset=localrules
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
to /etc/rc.conf. For example, an /etc/devfs.rules file with
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[localrules=10]
|
||||||
|
add path 'bpf*' mode 0660 group wheel
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
will grant read and write permissions on all BPF devices to all users in
|
||||||
|
the "wheel" group.
