Hello there,

kppp connection config doesn't allow to insert arbitrary /dev entries for the 
serial port file descriptor (I hope the terminology is ok... perhaps inode is 
better?) It becomes a problem if you run a 'pure' devfsd setup that doesn't 
provide the /dev/modem and the other /dev/ttyS* symlinks. This obliges the 
user to mess with the /etc/devfsd.conf to tweak the daemon's behaviour :
LOOKUP ^modem CFUNCTION GLOBAL symlink ${mntpnt}/tts/0 $devpath
Cumbersome (and obscure for the avg joe... I myself am not too shure if I 
wrote the correct entry... that's also the devfsd's man page fault)
I post here 'cause bugs.kde.org seems down.

my 2c,
Edo
