1. I imported them (to my FreeBSD) by taking inspiration from GhostBSD, so it means that GhostBSD is doing wrong here!It's a bad idea to make those devices world-writable in the first place.
add path 'da[0-9]\*' mode 666
Still should only allow group writes 660 (operator for example) and the user added to the operator group. Allowing everything but the kitchen-sink unfettered write access to a disk device seems like a recipe for disaster.If da* devices are only removable media, it might make sense.
Well, IF only removable media is affected and IF all users of this (presumably) desktop box should be granted unlimited access, the only difference would be the "hole" this opens up for system accounts (daemons on that box). I agree, handling this with a group is certainly the better option (have seen Linux distributions that established a "plugdev" group for that). I wonder why GhostBSD doesn't follow that route…Still should only allow group writes 660 (operator for example) and the user added to the operator group.
