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. From root Tue Aug 8 06:44:29 1995 Date: Tue, 8 Aug 95 06:43 PDT From: root (Cron Daemon) To: root Subject: Cron run-parts /etc/cron.daily X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: /usr/lib/smail/checkerr: /dev/null: Permission denied find: /mnt: Permission denied The only reference I could find to "dialout" in /var/lib/dpkg/info/* was from minicom. thanks, Stuart ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to stuart@oleta.physics.ucsb.edu (Stuart Marshall) : New bug report received and forwarded.
