4# Unfortunately, Mac OS X's devfs is based on the old FreeBSD
5# one, not the current one, so there's no way to configure it
6# to create BPF devices with particular owners or groups.
7# This startup item will make it owned by the admin group,
8# with permissions rw-rw----, so that anybody in the admin
9# group can use programs that capture or send raw packets.
10#
11# Change this as appropriate for your site, e.g. to make
12# it owned by a particular user without changing the permissions,
13# so only that user and the super-user can capture or send raw
14# packets, or give it the permissions rw-r-----, so that
15# only the super-user can send raw packets but anybody in the
16# admin group can capture packets.
