Why does dev/null has rw permissions only for root?

Mmm. Weird major and minor numbers. It doesn't look like a char device.


It's a regular file of size zero created at 2109 on the 22nd of what looks like "cen" - which is sep in cyrillic.

Whoever made the comment about something creating the file before the device gets created is right I rather suspect ;) Or udev isn't running for some reason.
