Package: minicom? , base?
Version: v1.6 r3  , 0.93R6

Hi, Sorry about the unknown package.  I am having problems with
the default permissions of /dev/null.  I'll change them but perhaps
one of the installed packages set them up incorrectly.  The permissions
after installation are:

  oleta% ls -al /dev/null /dev/zero
  crwxr-xr-x   1 1114     dialout    1,   3 Aug  5  1994 /dev/null
  crw-rw-rw-   1 root     sys        1,   5 Aug  5 18:04 /dev/zero

So perhaps one of the modem packages did it.  The cron.daily jobs
find and smail's checkerr give permission denied messages when they
run.

The only reference I could find to "dialout" in /var/lib/dpkg/info/*
was from minicom.

thanks,
