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