 I've just started poking around the PR's to try to learn and help out, =
 and this one looked like a good first try..
 
 Sure enough, as root on 9.0 -CURRENT I can "rm /dev/null" and it does =
 unlink and is missing.  However, I just recreate it with mknod /dev/null =
 c 0 6 ..  the behavior is identical on 8.2-RELEASE.
 
 Am I missing something here?  Is there some kind of new default behavior =
 that should be implemented here?=20=
