Keywords: /dev/null smit Message-ID: <1990Dec20.152631.33435@shared.uucp> Date: 20 Dec 90 15:26:31 GMT Organization: Shared Financial Systems Lines: 6 We traced the problem of a disappearing /dev/null to the use of smit. Line 100 of /usr/etc/lsnfsexp ends with an extra '/dev/null'. The line begins with 'rm -rf'. Since removing the superfluous '/dev/null', we've had no more problems with /dev/null.
