How about a /etc/dev.conf, or something similar, which instead of changing
the permissions of the /dev files directly, you stick the config of the
files that you want different in it?
Devfs could be modified to write this file on unmount, and on mount, it
could load the settings from this file before creating each device. Each
distribution already has scripts in it which unmount the filesystems
on reboot, so it would be easier for people to use.
This would be rather transparent to the user who could just blindly chmod
a file, and have the settings persist on reboot.
Cheers,
Dave.
PS. I would probably use devfs if it did this ;) (or something equivalent,
i'm not saying this is the way it ought to be done)
