Thanks!
Can I write a script or something to create what I want? Will that work with
udev?

RHEL 4 uses udev.  An article explaining what udev is and what it does is
available at <http://www.redhat.com/magazine/002dec04/features/udev/>

According to Red Hat: The udev package is an implementation of devfs in
userspace using sysfs and /sbin/hotplug. It requires a 2.6 kernel to run
properly

Hope this helps.
