After installing 9.1 Pro and using it for several hours, everything appeared to work alright. However, after switching the computer off for a while and then switching it back on again, I now find that I don't have access to /dev/null. If I fire up a terminal, I get the following line repeated 4 times before the prompt appears "bash: /dev/null: Permission denied". In addition, I now find that a number of applications complain about no access to /dev/null and simply will not run!
Any help with this would be appreciated, thanks.
Check if /dev/null has these permissions: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2003-10-02 22:45 /dev/null If not try to reset the ownership and permissions: chmod 666 /dev/null chown root.root /dev/null - Jostein -- Jostein Berntsen <jbernts@broadpark.no>
