How hard is setting up devfsd?? The man page explains it in perfect detail.
It's cleaner than tarring up /dev, and it's persistent. Ideally it would
record changes you make with chown and chmod in a database, but you could
probably instrument that yourself (simply hook the change event to call a
script which writes the perms in a coherent way, and then optional_include that
at the top of devfsd.conf)
Quite frankly, I thought this argument had died out ages ago.
