I chrooted apache to /www. In order to run a java program from a web page, java needs a /dev/null inside the chroot. I don't want to create another whole /dev/ dir with all the disk raw devices there to be read for anyone who cracks root. I just want a /www/dev/null file. I tried creating a node with mknod exactly like the node in /dev but it doesn't work in freebsd 6. /dev/ is special now and you can't just create nodes anywhere like the old days. Is there a way to create a /www/dev/null which acts just like /dev/null? Michael Grant
