Precedence: bulk

try to preserve that the ns file looks like shell script.

avoid "eject", as that is already a existing command that does
something completely different.

i dont like "permit" as it is too generic and not clear what it
operates on.

in any case, think of these operations as something that we should
also provide a shell wrapper for and it lives in the /bin namespace.

maybe should be a single command limilar to chmod/chgrp but operating
on the kernel device map?

like:

devmask -X		# "eject" X device
devmask ABCDEF	# set ABCDEF as allowed

any better ideas?
