Some few more details about BSD.
Take into consideration if you need sudo! BSD is something like the grandpa of apple and millions of apple users complain about sudo, not knowing what is happening. It sets your changes made back, a real setback. In my linux distro I disabled sudo without any problem.In my BSD I am figuring out what to do.

The files

Code:

 /etc/rc.conf

and

Code:

 /etc/rc.shutdown

a likely to be important for your special configuration, server or desktop.

If you need an application that is not in the ports (the programms bundle) you download the tar-ball archive and unpack it to the users jail (account).

You may join one of those BSD-forums, but my experience was, they treat you quite snobbish, with the stiff upper lip, you were not born to use BSD or even Unix, unless you are one of these masters of the universe.

And once again, the BSD handbook is much better than most of the manpages, which are probably made to be read only by the developers.

So have fun, don't give up, it is worth it. Thumbs up!

there is one more important thing you should know about BSD filessystem. If you connect an external drive such like a usb-stick or an external usb-HDD be aware to make this item be formatted in msdos fat32. My ugly expierience last year told me that ext2/3/4 do not communicate with UFS or ZFS, whatever you try. I am using as well usb-sticks and an external HDD, with fat32, it works smoothly.
So good luck discovering the possibilities of BSD, it is good.

devfs.rules

DEVFS.RULES(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual						    DEVFS.RULES(5)

NAME

     devfs.rules -- devfs configuration information

DESCRIPTION

     The devfs.rules file provides an easy way to create and apply devfs(8) rules, even for devices that are not available at boot.

     For devices available at boot, see devfs.conf(5).

     The format of this file is simple.  Empty lines and lines beginning with a hash sign ('#') are ignored.  A line between brackets denotes the
     start of a ruleset.  In the brackets should be the name of the ruleset and its number, separated by an equal sign.

     Other lines are rule specifications as documented in devfs(8), in the section Rule Specification.	These lines are prepended with ``rule''
     and are passed to devfs(8) by the startup scripts of the system.  It is important to put path elements that contain glob(3) special charac-
     ters between quotes.

     Rulesets should have a unique name and number.

     All rules that follow a ruleset declaration belong to that ruleset, until a new ruleset is started.

     One custom ruleset has to be enabled in /etc/rc.conf, otherwise it will not be applied to the /dev file system by the default system startup
     process.  For example, to enable a ``localrules'' ruleset for the /dev file system, you would have to use something like this in your rc.conf
     file:

	   devfs_system_ruleset="localrules"

FILES

     /etc/defaults/devfs.rules	       Default devfs.rules configuration file.
     /etc/devfs.rules		       Local devfs.rules configuration file. Rulesets in here override those in /etc/defaults/devfs.rules with the
				       same ruleset number, otherwise the two files are effectively merged.

EXAMPLES

     To make all the partitions of da(4) devices readable and writable by their owner and the ``usb'' group, the following rule may be used:

	   [localrules=10]
	   add path 'da*s*' mode 0660 group usb

     The first line declares and starts a new ruleset, with the name localrules and the number 10.

     To give usbconfig(8) and libusb(3) enabled applications permission to all usb devices for their owner and the ``usb'' group, a similar rule
     may be used:

	   add path 'usb/*' mode 0660 group usb
