Subjectdevfsd-v1.2.3 available
  Hi, all. I've just released version 1.2.3 of my devfsd (devfs
daemon) at: http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/

This works with devfs-patch-v112.

The main change is that devfsd now supports protocol version 4, which
includes inode lookup, create and change events. This allows cool new
things to be done:

- lookups:
. you can authenticate module autoload events, allowing only
specific users to load particular modules
. you can construct arbitrary namespaces if you don't like the
default one
. you can automagically create pipes, sockets and symlinks for
devices which aren't there (transparent device simulation)

- creates&changes:
. you can use devfsd to maintain a persistence database. This
database can even be made to look like a regular /dev.

In addition, the config file format has changed to separate action
types and events. Now any action can be bound to any event.

Regards,

Richard....
