Didn't know that minit does that, will have to look into the source
to be able to verify that. The second solution is the one I am 
currently using, but which is imho dirty, as it starts an additional
shell (which will effectively slow down the boot process some
mili-seconds).

That sounds very good! As soon as you realesed that,
I'll try it (I see I should subscribe to the ML in the near future).

Just found another interesting thing: The default
permissions file is very small, not covering null, zero,
pty* and so on. Is there a place you maintain
bigger samples or are you interested in having, which can be used
for productive systems?
