Hi, I have an old Debian Etch box, running Apache2 on chroot jail. Yesterday, (it sounds like joke) I turned off the machine and when I started it again the web server did not come to life again. The problem was a Permission Denied on the /dev/null.
I created my device with the command: mknod -m 0666 /chroot/dev/null c 1 3 listing the permissions: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2010-03-16 18:37 null crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 8 2010-03-16 18:39 random crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 9 2010-03-16 18:39 urandom (When I change the group to sys, don't solve the problem) Even outside of the chroot when I try to echo something and redirect to this device I get the same message: -su: null: Permission Denied My kernel is the default: 2.6.18-6-686 #1 SMP Everything worked fine 2 days ago. I really wish to understand and solve this issue. When I mount all /dev with a bind option, it works fine again, but I wouldn't want to have all my devices available inside chroot. I really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance -- Knoseeker
