It's running on a headless self-assembled PC. The original OS install was Debian Sarge, upgraded to Etch. bpa;204541 Wrote: > > /dev/fd are devices that relate to file descriptors so you should > always have /dev/fd/0 , /dev/fd/1 and /dev/fd/2 .

I also notice that '3' is not writeable. I don't know enough about the secrets of /dev and /proc to feel confident poking around in there. I did feel brave enough to try the following: maudite$ chmod o+w /dev/fd/3 chmod: cannot access `/dev/fd/3': No such file or directory maudite$ ls /dev/fd/3 ls: /dev/fd/3: No such file or directory maudite$ ls /dev/fd/2 /dev/fd/2 I find this interesting but don't know what to conclude as I'm definitely in my ignorance zone. Any thoughts on what I should do next? -- martinfowler ------------------------------------------------------------------------ martinfowler's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=813 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35587 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
