Hi there. How do I cg=hange permissions or use mknod to make /dev/null back into a charcter device?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> ls -la /dev/{null,zero} -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 117 2005-08-15 20:50 /dev/null crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 5 2004-04-06 14:27 /dev/zero is what i'm getting at present. I take this to mean that /dev/zero is a charcater device, which it should be, but /dev/null is coming up as an 'unknown file type', which it shouldn't be. I remeber seeing something like this before on the lists, whereby you must first delete /dev/null, do a mknod and change the permissions to 755(???) Anyone have any expperience of this??
