Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: udev

When I ssh to my server I see "permission denied messages" in my
console:

[...]
-bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
-bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
-bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
-bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
-bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
-bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
[...]

I [Ctrl] + [c] out of this loop and get dropped to bash. Checking then
the permissions on "/dev/null", I see "crw-------" owned by root:root.
After a "# /etc/init.d/udev restart" the permissions are "crw-rw-rw-". I
recently upgraded from stock Dapper to Edgy, and currently running
"default" Edgy (2.6.17-10-386).

udev is configured to properly set the permissions on the file (the
following is in '/etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules':
KERNEL=="null", MODE="0666").

I still experience this problem on every reboot.

Attached is my "/var/log/udev".

"# udevtest /class/mem/null" gives:

main: looking at device '/class/mem/null' from subsystem 'mem'
udev_rules_get_name: no node name set, will use kernel name 'null'
udev_db_get_device: no db file to read /dev/.udev/db/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@null: No 
such file or directory
udev_node_add: creating device node '/dev/null', major = '1', minor = '3', mode 
= '0666', uid = '0', gid = '0'
main: run: 'socket:/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event'
main: run: 'socket:/org/kernel/udev/monitor'
