Author udev permission and /dev/null and sound

Hi all,

i am n troubles with devices since i switched to udev
I am using home-compiled kernel 2.6.14.2 and udev 0.076-2

/dev/null is not owned by root:root and not readable by others:
that is: crw-rw----
I have to change to crw-rw-rw- before starting kdm session manager.
Similar changes are required to /dev/random and /dev/ptmx
Moreover, the sound device cannot be found any more.

Any hint to fix all that?

I have noticed that the
/etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions

is not read, neither when starting or restarting udev.
Is that ok?


thank you
