Hi: I was trying to get my linux-mozilla-1.1 to spawn off acroread when I click on PDF links, but I kept getting this: /usr/local/bin/acroread5: /dev/null: Permission denied I played with the acroread5 script and added, at the beginning, echo "hi" > /dev/null and got: + echo hi /home/bwithrow/bin/acroread5: /dev/null: Permission denied What gives? ls -l /dev/null says: crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 2, 2 Oct 9 12:45 /dev/null That's groovy. But what about /compat/linux/dev/null? -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Oct 2 17:59 /compat/linux/dev/null Hmm??? Doing "chmod 666 /compat/linux/dev/null" fixes the problem. This looks like a bug in the linux-base port. I'll file a PR. -- Robert Withrow, BWithrow@NortelNetworks.com, +1 978 288 8256, ESN 248 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
