I'm sorry: one more message.  I mis-typed what I want - and I see from your 
message that I need to clarify my problem.  I meant:

"Is there anything I can do to get udev (or whatever is responsible) to NOT 
delete nodes I've added by hand?"

The problem is that when I go to sync my Palm Pilot with jpilot, udev (or some 
other software) has often deleted the /dev/irda0 node I created for jpilot to 
talk through.  This means that almost every time I want to sync my Palm I 
have to create /dev/irda0 by hand because something has deleted it.  I want 
to stop whatever is automatically deleting the nodes I've added by hand (in 
this case /dev/irda0).  It's really annoying!

Thanks.
Chris.
