Thanks for the info.  So is something like /proc/<processid>/fd ?

No.

This relates to another message in this thread.  I do not use udev at
the moment.  I want to try it out when I have got some time to
experiment.  From what I have seen it requires some time and a lot of
configuration to get it to work.

I see that I don't have devfsd installed. So the answer is, no, I
don't use it at the moment.
