kde startup problem (bad perms on /dev/null)

[Jimmy]

Hey All,

I just wanted to share in case someone else runs into this.  I have been 
running dapper at home for a little while now.  Last week after a 
dist-upgrade I could no longer start kde.  The interesting part was X was 
fine and so was KDM.  But I could not start kde.  

Long story short, it ended up the permission on /dev/null changed to
crw------- 1 root root 1, 3 2006-02-21 12:29 /dev/null
(I think it was with the new kernel or udev package or something)

When they should be:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2006-02-21 12:29 /dev/null

Now this change is permanent and I have to manually modify the perms 
on /dev/null after I restart.  (Actually, I just wrote a one liner I added to 
init.d) But the point is without this, the system would be broken.

Anyone else have odd /dev/null perms?  Not important really, just wondering if 
this is just me.

Thanks,
Jimmy
