+# Unfortunately, macOS's devfs is based on the old FreeBSD
+# one, not the current one, so there's no way to configure it
+# to create BPF devices with particular owners or groups. BPF
+# devices on macOS are also non-cloning, that is they can
+# be created on demand at any time. This startup item will
+# pre-create a number of BPF devices, then make them owned by
+# the access_bpf group, with permissions rw-rw----, so that
+# anybody in the access_bpf group can use programs that capture
+# or send raw packets.
+#
+# Change this as appropriate for your site, e.g. to make
+# it owned by a particular user without changing the permissions,
+# so only that user and the super-user can capture or send raw
+# packets, or give it the permissions rw-r-----, so that
+# only the super-user can send raw packets but anybody in the
+# admin group can capture packets.
+#
+
+# Pre-create BPF devices. Set to 0 to disable.
