+===== Serial USB Adaptors =====
+To get access to a USB serial device as normal user (as long as I'm in the ''wheel'' group) I added a rule in ''/etc/devd.conf''
+<code bash>
+notify 100 {
+        match "system"          "DEVFS";
+        match "subsystem"       "CDEV";
+        match "type"            "CREATE";
+        match "cdev"            "ttyU[0-9]+";
+        action "chmod ug+rw /dev/$cdev";
+};
+</code>
+This makes the device R/W for the ''wheel'' group. Without this rule (the chmod part) the device is only R/W for root.
