This behaviour is also exhibited by:

It isn't this way on any of my RHEL4 systems. On my RHEL4
systems /dev/root is a symbolic link to the actual root device and the
actual root devices have the correct permissions.
That is quite strange...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls -al /dev/root
brw------- 1 root root 104, 3 Mar 5 22:29 /dev/root
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -a

I noticed that /dev/root is a link if / is on an LVM managed partition.
If it is on a regular partition it's a block device.
