I recently upgraded from FC31 to FC32, and sometimes when I use my machines (I had the same problem on different machines Desktop, laptop and my work-laptop) I got this error message : /dev/null permission denied.
Searching the net I found that it is a file permissions problem and I could get around the problem without rebooting my machine with this :
rm -f /dev/null; mknod -m 666 /dev/null c 1 3
what I don’t understand, what causes the problem?
Regards.
Randomly, but in general after some use of the machine, apart from the root user which seems not affected, regular users are affected, for some reason, when the permissions of the /dev/null get changed, I start getting this error when for example I open a new shell, sshd service also is affected by this error.
