How should i define this? > pseudo-device or device? In V4 it's a pseudo-device. In V5, it's a device. In V5 devices are created by devfs and are dynamic. As a result, if you are not using any filer devices, they won't exist. Try running a tcpdump and, while it's running do 'ls /dev/bpf*'. Kill the tcpdump and do it again. -- R.
