I have performed an update from Alpha6 to latest Factory.
After the update I could not log in to KDE, it would just sit there after I
have entered the password in KDM.
Then I have seen that I get many /dev/null access denied errors if I log in the
text console.
It seems that /dev/null does not have sufficient permissions for my user.  I
have chmod a+rw /dev/null and stopped resmgr so it would not restrict the
permissions again.
After that, I could login to KDE and the console login didn't give /dev/null
permission denied errors anymore.
The bug has probably something to do with the new hal version too.
