Dear Sirs. Sometimes the system changes the access bits of /dev/null to 500, so some applications and utilities faile because they cant't write to /dev/null. Can anybody tell me how to solve the problem? It seems trivial, but changing the access bits have had no effect because after a while the system overrides these changes. I don't know where these changes are made, neither by cron, nor by rc. Has anybody ideas or a solution? Or is the problem a problem because managing a FBSD isn't my favourite profession ;-)) Best wishes, Oliver ------------------------------------------------------------------- O.
