LFS-6.1 build

I build a kernel (2.6.11.12) for my scratch built system and it populates
/dev with the wrong permissions, ie /dev/null with crw-rw---- permissions.

Non root users can not access it example: echo "Cat shit" > /dev/null.
Fails with Permission denied. (because of 660 perms)

Why would the kernel mount/populate /dev with perms set to 660.

How could it be fixed?

Could anyone explain (overview) how the kernel populates and set permissions in /dev ?


There is a HTML file in the udev source, docs/writing_udev_rules/index.html 
which explains it quite well. It looks like you may have forgotten to copy 
udev-config-3.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/25-lfs.rules so all the nodes in /dev 
are being created with the default permissions, 660
