Re: [opensuse] Who and why removes permissions to /dev/null ?



Josef Wolf escribió:
Hello,

With opensuse-11.1 and kde4, I have seen three times on two different
boxes that the mode of /dev/null was changed to 600. This breaks
lots of scripts, which assume /dev/null is writable by anybody.

The timestamp of /dev/null is also changed. Since chmod don't change
the timestamp, this means the file is removed and recreated.


try this:

# auditctl -w /dev/null -p a
# auditctl -e 1

and then watch the logs...
if auditctl is not found, when you execute it as root, install package
"audit"
