Hi, I'm trying to create chrooted enviroment, i did the folllowing in the chrooted enviroment: mknode c null 0 24 mknode c zero 0 25 And then i did chroot and those files are under /dev, but when i wrote a short program in C that tries to open /dev/null (within the chrooted env.) i got: "/dev/null-operation is not supported" Any way i tried to open or use (i'm running "perl -pi -e ..." and it said that: "Can't open perl script "-e": No such file or directory". which brings me again to /dev/null) i get the same message "/dev/null-operation is not supported". Only by doing mount of devfs it seems to work fine, but i prefer not to do mount every time (because then i get that my chrooted enviroment pathname is too long for FreeBSD) I'm not quite sure if this is a bug, but i hope it is (sorry to say that). --------------------------------- Yahoo!
