[Bug 329676] New: /dev/null permissions changed when using a modem
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=329676 Summary: /dev/null permissions changed when using a modem Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: RC 2 Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: clarkt@cnsp.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer Using NetworkManager or kinternet to dial a modem causes /dev/null permissions to be changed from 666 to 600. This prevents users from logging back in after using a modem. Also, after dialing the modem, opening a terminal window, the users is given a list of bash errors --- bash: /dev/null: Permission denied This only tends to occur with the first dial out. Using su to change the permissions back to 666, dialing back out does not change the permissions. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In alpha6 or 7, /dev/null has removed and recreated as a normal file, which is not a special file. The permission of the file was 600. In RC1, /dev/null has simply removed after first dialing. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

There is -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1336 Oct 2 10:01 /dev/null.2007-10-02.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Oct 2 10:01 /dev/null.current -> null.2007-10-02.0 That file contains the wvdial log output -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
