It seems when I install boxes with 4.8-rel cd the /dev/null changes permission every minute to non-writable by any user, breaking a lot of scripts piping output to /dev/null. Anytime I try chmod 666 it, within the next clock minute, it's back to 644. I've tried rebuilding the device completely, cvsup'ing to a newer version (4.9-pre), nothing seems to fix it and it only seemed to happen on machines that I originally installed with 4.8-rel. If anyone has some insight on this issue, it would be greatly appreciated as I am pulling hair trying to figure out this problem.
