 Good point about the impermanence of devfs.  In fact, I know very little
 about how devfs works -- I just wanted to put something here so as not
 to get too out of date when 5.X arrives.
 
 I think there is actually some conf file in which you can not only specify
 such links but also give writablility permissions to users/groups.  I saw
 something once about this in a discussion somewhere.
 
 I'll ask on freebsd-questions or browse the web, and hopefully be able to
 say something better about this.
