64Rulesets should have a unique name and number.
65.Pp
66All rules that follow a ruleset declaration belong to that ruleset, until a

69One custom ruleset has to be enabled in
70.Pa /etc/rc.conf ,
71otherwise it won't be applied to the
72.Pa /dev
73file system by the default system startup process.
74For example, to enable a
75.Dq Li localrules
76ruleset for the
77.Pa /dev
78file system, you would have to use something like this in your
79.Pa rc.conf
80file:
81.Bd -literal -offset indent
