That is a suboptimal approach. It should be trivial to export serno via

Just try it :)

Umm, guys. What we just need to do is to compare majors/minors with a shell script. This would take, like, 4 lines, doesn't force me to run udevd, hence works in single user mode, too, can be modified without needing /usr/src and perhaps a couple of other advantages.


Why the complexity?
