 If it's trying to create /dev/null, I assume that the jail's /dev isn't
 mounted when /etc/rc is running.  Do you have mount.devfs set in the
 jail.conf, or jail_foo_devfs_enable in rc.conf (depending on your
 configuration)? For that matter, can you tell if the jail's /dev is
 mounted?

 Yes, it's mounted.

 Because I can set up jails with an identical procedure on other boxes we
 run I suspect something is wrong with the install so I am starting from
 scratch with this one.

 While doing that, I am trying to sort another problem, namely to boot
 zfs on root on a HP Proliant with a P410 controller, but that is another
 story.

 You know, if it was easy it would not be interesting...

 So maybe a little late since you're starting over, but another possibility
 is the devfs ruleset.  If something went wrong in setting that up, you
 could well have a devfs mounted that shows no devices.

True, although I did check the rulesets. However, since this is a box
that will go into production I did not want to take any chances in case
we missed something that might show up in other places later.

 Yup. The command devfs rule showsets shows nothing. This is on

Weird. I assume that the system created the rulesets that I see on my
machine, because I surely didn't. My machine is amd64, in case that
makes any difference.

So if you don't see them, I'd say that there is something wrong. I'm
assuming that you've run devfs as root, otherwise you get an error.

The command 'devfs rule -s 2 apply 100' should fix it, I think.

If I read devfs(8) correctly, this should apply rule 100 of ruleset 2. 
Since I have no rulesets or rules, it doesn't work. :)

Are you sure that you have no rulesets?

I've made only one ruleset in /etc/devfs.rules, with the number
10. However, when I do have more rulesets:

# devfs rule showsets
1
2
3
4
10

I guess these (except 10) are made during system startup or are system
defaults.

They are:

# devfs rule -s 1 show
100 hide

# devfs rule -s 2 show
100 path null unhide
200 path zero unhide
300 path crypto unhide
400 path random unhide

/dev/null permission change from 4.3 - 4.4...

2001-09-23 Thread Sean Chittenden

Howdy.  This question was originally framed as a why doesn't
uptime work for users in 4.4, when it used to in 4.3, but after looking
into things further, it's now a why is /dev/null set to mod 0600?  On
a 4.3 system that I have, the perms on dev/null are 666.

I've chmod'ed all of my boxen back to 0666, but... I'm curious
as to why this happened and the rationale behind the change.  I've
observed this difference on at least 15 other 4.4 systems.  What gives?

   I've chmod'ed all of my boxen back to 0666, but... I'm curious
 as to why this happened and the rationale behind the change.  I've
 observed this difference on at least 15 other 4.4 systems.  What
 gives?

Hmm, it's still marked with the sign of the beast here.

Something must have gone wrong..it's still supposed to be 666, and is
on my machines.
