Assuming /var/www/dev does not already exist, this should do it: # mkdir /var/www/dev # cd /var/www/dev # sh /dev/MAKEDEV std # rm !(null) If it already exists then you may need to adapt the rm command to preserve existing entries, or use mknod(8) manually to just create the "null" node. You'll also need to make sure that /var/www is _not_ mounted with the "nodev" option (/etc/fstab). If this is a hard requirement for lighttpd then the port could probably do with explaining it somewhere .. (maintainer cc'd)
