Hmm... I thought the vdso-hash whoops caused /dev/null to get removed and thus recreated as a regular file - Andrew Wade is showing it as being mode 600 - but still a 'char special'? Or did udev get there before somebody managed to recreate it, and it stuck funky permissions on it? --==_Exmh_1154035699_3017P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFEyS/zcC3lWbTT17ARAvhyAKDZAxAO+3bWEsHyVxcVtHTGOSm2+wCeOrsS TvLjMobEvFwIzH6yDEeXTIQ= =Jbv2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1154035699_3017P--
