Question I've got a message about "/dev/null: access denied"


Hi, often I get a message from bash saying something like

"/dev/null: access denied"

The man page for null explains the way to recreate the dev node but without a warnign, bang, again the message appears. What I have observed is that usually its type of file is "c" but when the error message appears, although the /dev/null still exists, it changes its type of file to "-".
Any ideas why???

I'm using Suse 9.1
