Public bug reported:
/dev/null got changed from a character device to a regular file. the
method by which this happened is unknown.
On reboot, sshd failed to start up.
There is a script in /etc/init.d/ssh that dies if /dev/null is not a
character device. If you try to start sshd from the command line it
reports 'no such device' in the logfile.
This makes you unable to access your server remotely.
