Sorry, I had tried to search the list before, but my keywords did not yield anything releated to the issue. For example, searching for "devfs_make_node" on all lists only yields six results, none of which appear to be related: procDevice = devfs_make_node(myDevice, DEVFS_CHAR, UID_ROOT, GID_WHEEL, 0666, path) where "path" is an actual path (like foo/bar/myDevice), then the device gets created in /dev/fo/ba/myDevice. This does not happen in 10.4 Is this just a plain bug, or am I doing something wrong? This has come up a number of times on the list recently. As I recall, this is both not supported and an off-by-one error introduced when switching from some standard library function to some supposedly "safe" version which was supposed to prevent these sorts of errors. See the list archive for more details. This email sent to below@mac.com This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
