I am getting strange results from directing output to /dev/null when logged on
as a non-root user using /bin/sh.
>From a non-root user I see the following:
$ ls -l /devices/pseudo/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 13, 2 Feb 5 16:24 /devices/pseudo/[EMAIL
PROTECTED]:null
$ ls -l /dev/null
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jan 1 1970 /dev/null -> ../devices/ps
eudo/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:null
$ echo abdef >/dev/null
/dev/null: cannot create
>From root:
# echo abcdef >/dev/null
#
A trace shows that a creat64("/dev/null") is being called which appears weird
to me.
