This is because /compat/linux/dev/null has these permissions: <~>$ ls -l /compat/linux/dev/null -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Oct 2 17:59 /compat/linux/dev/null >How-To-Repeat: One way to repeat is to try to have the linux-mozilla port run the linux acrobat reader. The acroread shell script writes to /dev/null and triggers this problem. >Fix: chmod 666 /compat/linux/dev/null -- Robert Withrow, BWithrow@NortelNetworks.com, +1 978 288 8256, ESN 248 >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
