That sure looks wrong to me. /dev/null is the bit basket and should be a character special file (major 4, minor 0). It is automatically defined at IPL if it does not exist then. Someone might inadvertently have deleted the /dev/null (character special) file. The next one to use it might have created a (regular) file /dev/null. You might want to delete /dev/null just before IPL to get a correct entry again. Or you might try to delete it and create the character special file with the "mknod" command Peter Hunkeler CREDIT SUISSE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
