There's a kernel bug operating here, I think. If you chmod 666 /dev/fd/2 (from the same console, of course) it shows no change in its mode using "ls", but you will probably be able to write it. I was able to verify that I could chmod it to 000 and would get the same no-permission message, but the mode did not appear to be 000 using "ls". Bruce
