[OpenAFS-devel] device nodes...

[Neulinger, Nathan R.]

There was just a note on info-afs asking about devices in AFS. Obviously
that doesn't work currently.

What would y'all think of trying to add support for system:administrators
only having the ability to create device nodes in AFS (other than pipes) and
adding a DevNodeCells file in /usr/vice/etc/ similar to SuidCells?

I think the logic would be the same - ThisCell only by default, but you
could add others.

I haven't looked at the code much, but seems like it shouldn't be all that
difficult to manage.
