Re: [hylafax-users] dev/null

[Jean-Pierre Radley <jpr@xxxxxxx>]

Hmm...  if anyone answered this already, the answer didn't reach me, so
I'd appreciate a re-transmission.

Thanks!

| 
| 	Could not create dev/null: No such file or directory

| 
| But I do have a /usr/local/spool/hylafax/dev/directory containing:
| 
|     -rw-rw-rw-  1 root uucp     0 Sep  6 10:36 null
|     -rw-rw-rw-  1 root uucp     0 Sep  6 10:36 socksys
|     -rw-rw-rw-  1 root uucp     0 Sep  6 10:36 tcp
| 
| The permissions on the way down are:
| 
|     drwxrwxrwx 24 root sys   2048 Oct 14 15:00 /usr/local@
|     drwxrwxr-x  4 root sys     96 Oct 14 14:05 /usr/local/spool
|     drwxr-xr-x 17 uucp uucp  2048 Sep 27 16:17 /usr/local/spool/hylafax
|     drwxr-xr-x  2 uucp uucp    96 Sep  6 10:36 /usr/local/spool/hylafax/dev
| 
| So why does hfaxd need to re-create its chroot copy of dev/null?
| 
| 
| Also: why is the message occuring in /var/adm/syslog when I've specified
| local 5 as the LogFacility, pointing to /var/adm/hylafaxlog?
