Hi,
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)
