My understanding is that the rc.conf file is set on each boot, therefore any changes that i make will be removed if the machine re-boots, is this correct?
I found the following from last year re. changes to rc.conf [post-70169] and reference to rc.conf editing in the GUI [bugs 3051]. But this does not help in confirming whether it is possible to make permanent changes or not at this stage.
This is a follow on to trying to get USB device passed through to a jail hosting VirtualBox, the method noted in this freebsd forum post [How to mount devfs in a jails/chroot]
jail_devfs_enable="YES"
jail_devfs_ruleset="devfsrules_jail"
or for specific jail 'foo' (yes?)
jail_foo_devfs_enable="YES"
jail_foo_devfs_ruleset="devfsrules_jail"
However this would appear to be all devices in devfs rather than specific devices, although that may come from however rules are defined in /etc/devfs.rules
Another similar question on the freeBSD forum [chmod USB device?] but no follow up on method successful or not.
Unfortunately I am not familiar enough with any *nix syntax and system topology to do other than cook-book implementation, any further ideas? as it seems that rc.etc may not be the best method for usb as it can be a dynamic connection.
