devfs.rules controls device node permissions and ownership by defining rulesets. If you have never setup devfs.rules the easiest way to get started is to create a default system ruleset that you will use.
- Add the following the
/etc/devfs.rules:
[system=10]
This defines a ruleset namedsystem. - Add to your
/etc/rc.conf:
devfs_system_ruleset="system"
This sets thesystemruleset that you just created as the default system ruleset for device ownership and permissions. - Restart devfs:
/etc/rc.d/devfs restart
