All seemed ok, however, I'm now discovering problems with access permissions, particularly in the /dev directory. For example, /dev/null and /dev/urandom were owned by root:wheel, with crw------ permissions, which buggered up ssh and a variety of other things. I'm chasing these one at a time as I find them, which is unlikely to get me to a solid stable system anytime soon, especially because I don't know what the permissions should necessarily BE for all the devices. I know under Solaris there are security utilities you can run that will check/fix all the file permissions in the system directories. Is there anything similar for FreeBSD, or any other suggestions on how to remedy this problem? Thanks!
