Do not change the permissions on /dev/null to anything other than 644. That will completely hose your system. You'll have problems with hundreds of programs and scripts on your system that rely on the ability to write to /dev/null as a normal user. I somehow missed the start of this thread, but that is horrible advice as written. --Jeremy -- /=====================================================================\ | Jeremy Portzer jeremyp pobox com trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \=====================================================================/
