> So, we just debugged this issue, and it is indeed udevd which set's up the /dev/stdout symlink. Typically, this is already created by the initramfs, which runs udevd. In the udev sysv init script, we do run make_static_nodes() before udevd (so any device permissions are applied). It is "kmod static-nodes" which creates /dev/stdout as file, and dumps the output of the static-nodes command there, if that symlink doesn't exist. Sjoerd suggested to explicitly set the output for kmod, i.e. use "kmod static-nodes --output /proc/self/fd/1 | ..." -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
