Hi Kaushik,<br>
<br>
On reading your mail, firstly I would like to ask you as to how you<br>
have a root account ??? Because by default Ubuntu utilises the same<br>
principle as Mac OS X, i.e you use the 'sudo' command for<br>
administrative purposes(it is a safer way for people not used to using<br>
unix based os'es). Did you possibly create a root account ?<br>
<br>
Anyway, to rectify -<br>
The permissions on /dev/null need to be set to 0666, and running a<br>
"sudo chmod 666 /dev/null" should rectify this problem.<br>
<br>
However, if upon rebooting, the perms on /dev/null return to 0600, then -<br>
<br>
The permissions on /dev/null should be set by udev.<br>
So check the files in /etc/udev/rules.d, such as<br>
/etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules, it should have a line that<br>
says<br>
Code:KERNEL=="null", MODE="0666"<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
