If protections are correct on the directory /dev, then an unlink("/dev/null") won't be an issue for anyone but the super-user. It's silly to have /dev writable by anyone other than root, anyway, since a malicious user or runaway user program could wreak havoc (like "rm *"--now try to reboot!) -- /Steve Dyer decvax!bbncca!sdyer sdyer@bbncca
