this makes sense.

Please also massage this comment in devtable.c:
 * Don't bother with symlinks (permissions are irrelevant), hard links (special
 * cases of regular files), or sockets (why bother).

and make sure that the permissions are not set for symlinks.
Otherwise I'd give users the impression that symlinks have permissions.

Thanks,
