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.
On our RHEL4 tester we put in the symlink manually, but also had to
modify grub.conf so that "root=" parameter on the kernel line pointed to
the root device instead of "LABEL=/"; otherwise the symlink was removed
and /dev/root recreated after reboot. I've tried this also on the RHEL5
box, to no avail, unfortunately.
On the two test RHEL5 systems it is not a symbolic link but rather a
complete duplicate of the actual root device node with the restrictive
permissions. The permissions on the actual root device are "normal"
however.
Yep, this is what I'm seeing.
