If you get any responses mailed, please post a summary. I've been having the
same problem, intermittently, and solve it the same way you do (chmod).
And as it's not a real big problem yet, it's fallen low on my priority
list to try and figure it out :) Thanks.

We see this in connection with configuration of local printers on HP
X-terminals (booting from a Sparc-20, Solaris 2.3).
The HP Aptrex X-terminals work nicely, but use /dev/null as the printer
port. If the Sun configuration tools are then used to try to adjust
the settings (of the printer connected to the HP), then /dev/null gets
the wrong permissions. There are no such problems if the printer is
configured with the supplied HP software.

If not, I'm not sure what might have caused it, but looking at the owner
and group of /dev/null may give you some clue.

: Each time you use the "Printer Manager" from Solaris to add an local printer
: to "Printer Port" /dev/null (e.g. for printers with an ethernet interface),
: the "Printer Manager" will change the permissions of /dev/null to 0600 and the
: owner to "lp". Maybe this caused your problems.

Yup, I experienced the same problem. Really annoying ...
I solved it by 'connecting' the printer to an empty file.
Can this cause any side effects ?

1. Q: Mysterious permission change on /dev/null. Virus ??
Hi !
Here is a mysterious thing that happens on my RedHat 3.03:
the permission on the /dev/null node keep on changing
from crw-rw-rw- which is i think normal
to crw-rw-rw- which is *very* ennoying, because lots of prgrams can't
start when they redirect stderr...
It seems to me that a process (maybe a naughty one) does this dirty joke
:)
Any help is welcome.
Leo.
