I have most probably messed something up in /etc.
When ever one logs in from console, ssh, anything, following gets printed after /etc/issue message:
bash: /dev/null: Is a directory bash: /dev/null: Is a directory bash: /dev/null: Is a directory
The same goes when any /etc/ini.d/xxx script file is executed.
Any pointers to sort out whats wrong?

ll /dev/null should report that it is crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2003-03-14 08:07 /dev/null which is a character device. If not you will need to recreate it as one. info mknod might help. You will need the major,minor numbers to create it. I do not know the numbers, perhaps someone else on the list can help there. linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2)
