Comment 11 for bug 63031

I'm experiencing a similar thing. When I ssh to my server I get the same permission denied messages in my console. Checking the "/dev/null", I see "crw-------" owned by root:root. After a "# /etc/init.d/udev restart" the permissions are "crw-rw-rw-". I'm running Edgy (2.6.17-10-386).

Attached is my "/var/log/udev".

"# udevtest /class/mem/null" gives:
main: looking at device '/class/mem/null' from subsystem 'mem'
udev_rules_get_name: no node name set, will use kernel name 'null'
udev_db_get_device: no db file to read /dev/.udev/db/class@mem@null: No such file or directory
udev_node_add: creating device node '/dev/null', major = '1', minor = '3', mode = '0666', uid = '0', gid = '0'
