11 Agreed. Since it did not fix the problem, I remerged udev-087-r1.

16 Good question. Nothing I have intentionally done.
17 None of the other rules files in /etc/udev/rules.d contain any string
18 matches as you suggest, except those listed in the previous resonse,
19 found in 50-udev.rules.

27 Here's what I found:
28 RC_DEVICES="auto"
29 RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no"

31 I'm going to play around with these and test; results to follow.

38
39 yes, I rsync emerge and update regularly (daily) almost.

46
47 It was a rethorical question. I should have stated:
48 It looks as though the (mode) permissions and groups are not
49 getting set per the udev files, or did I miss something?
