1. I have several boxes running alpine linux. They have been up for
several months. After a while of use the /dev/null device gets it
permission changed. Some programs will not start/work properly after
this happens. I have not been able to find the cause just yet.
I have had this happen on 2 boxes now. They are running different
version of alpine. I haven't had the time to try 1.7.27.
alpine-1.7.22 080912
alpine-1.7.26 081107
The permissions seem like they need to be 666 but they get change to
644.
2. I went to report the bug through the means found on the website
http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/w/index.php?title=FAQ#I_have_found_a_bug.2C_where_can_I_report_it.3F
Seems these pages are having bugs of there own...
http://bugs.alpinelinux.org/
The boxes that are installed aren't connected to the Internet, so I
can't really use the sendbug feature in alpine.
If you need anymore details or have suggestions let me know.
Thanks

thanks for reporting this.
after a reboot the permissions are correct?
can you show the output of ls -l /dev/null?

I am sure a reboot would help it. I just changed the permissions by
hand. Can't have the machine go down ;)
I will have to wait tell it happens again.
When the first one did it I thought it was because it was older. Now
that the new one did it two I thought I should report it.

Thanks for your hard work in with this linux version. I like it so
much I am starting to use it everywhere. Everywhere I don't need a GUI
that is.

Misunderstood... Current output with permissions I have set after the
problem was seen.
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Sep 30 14:43 /dev/null

could you please verify that your /dev/null is a blockdevice and not a
normal file?
$ ls -l /dev/null
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1, 3 2008-12-03 08:46 /dev/null
