As I use cowbuilder, my quick fix for this (and which works perfectly) was : $ chmod 666 /var/cache/pbuilder/etch-amd64.cow/dev/null I assume that modifying the base tgz for pbuilder would not achieve the same thing, as mknod would be run after extraction, would it? Anyway this was a better compromise for me than giving MKNOD capabilities inside the vserver guest. Alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
