Hello,

googling around I do not seem to be able to reconcile the current state of
affairs. Should we still be using coldplug or hotplug or has udev
robustly replaced cold and hotplug?

Now on an old i586 (K-6 amd) firewall, that has iptables
and not much else installed. should I still use cold/hot plug?
I use to add cold/hot plug to the startup scripts (rc-update)
to the defautl run level, but, I not so certain that's a good
idea, necessary or may just be another (potential) security risk
on a minimal firewall....

The latest udev?

An explanation combined with a recommendation would be keen.....

James
