Re: 4.8-STABLE /dev/null issue
Hello,
I've followed those instructions and still a no go. Enabled my crontab
line of:
* * * * * echo blah >/dev/null
And this is what happened:
crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel2, 2 Jun 4 14:45 /dev/null
Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> echo blah >/dev/null
cannot create /dev/null: permission denied
If anyone else has some suggestions, please let me know. This is starting
to become a rather big issue on 4.8-STABLE for me.
Sincerely,

Hello,
This may have been previously discussed, but I have yet to find a solution
yet so looking to find some guidance here.
I have a customer who has 2 servers, one is 4.8-RC and the other is
4.8-STABLE. No problems have been noted on his server with 4.8-RC,
however the one running 4.8-STABLE seems to have some random /dev/null
permission changes and I'm stumped.
He runs a cron script (on both servers) and redirects the output to
/dev/null, and everytime he does it on the 4.8-STABLE the permissions
change from crw-rw-rw- to crw-r--r-- which is rather odd. Anytime I 'echo
blah >/dev/null' just in a regular shell, nothing goes wrong, only when in
cron.
Errors reported in /var/log/maillog are something like this:
Jun 2 21:06:56 diamond sm-msp-queue[97747]: h5316uZO097747: disconnect:
open("/dev/null") failed: Permission denied
Also, cron reports similar:
Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> echo blah >/dev/null
X-Cron-Env:
X-Cron-Env:
X-Cron-Env:
X-Cron-Env:
X-Cron-Env:
cannot create /dev/null: permission denied
I cvsup'd, rebuilt the world, mergemaster'd the system to the latest and
still experience issues. Was there a change between 4.8-RC and 4.8-STABLE
that is causing this that I am just overlooking here?
Any advice is greatly appreciated, as of right now I am banging my head.

It's absolutely worth filing a pr about this, as more than a few things break (like sendmail, as you saw) if they can't talk to /dev/null. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
