Video input vs. systemctl enable.

[peter@easthope.ca]

Hi again,

After upgrade to stretch, "systemctl enable shorewall" 
was necessary to allow shorewall to start automatically.
https://wiki.debian.org/HowTo/shorewall

With a USB camera and a Hauppauge frame-grabber installed, this 
stretch system has no /dev/video*.  Is a "systemctl enable ..." 
required for video input?
