From: Erick Engelke on 18 May 2010 13:24 I'd like to install nessus on my freebsd 8.0 machine. It complains because I only have one bpf device and the ports version wants 64 or so. MAKEDEV is deprecated. How do I (someone who needs clear steps) make the necessary devices. I do have bpf and bpf0, and GENERIC kernel which includes bpf. Thanks Erick

I don't have a formula at hand, but I think something like add path 'bpf*' unhide mode 0660 group nessus is what you would put into devfs.rules. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ |
