Problems getting callouts to work

[David Leangen]

Hello!

I noticed that I must have been reading an older version of the spec.

I checkout out the new version, which says:

  Callouts are programs invoked when the device object list is
  modified. As such, callouts can be used to maintain system-wide 
  policy (that may be specific to the particular OS) such as 
  changing permissions on device nodes, updating the system wide 
  /etc/fstab file or configuring the networking subsystem. 

  There are three different classes of callouts. A callout 
  involves sequentially invoking all executable programs in the
  string list in listed order. 

I understand what a callout is, and that all executable programs in the
string list info.callouts.* will be executed...

But the doc does not say WHERE this list is and how to add callouts to
the list.


If somebody could tell me this, I would be very grateful.


Thank you!
David
