It means some script somewhere did an rm -f on /dev/null

It looks more like a typo, as another poster said (one L).
Could be, but I had /dev/null deleted on a machine once and
the ensuing fun was really spectacular :-).
Doing "whatever > /dev/null" wasn't too bad, but when
someone said "whatever < /dev/null" amazingly random things
could happen.
The point is, it is not MY scripts doing this! I have had
this bugger for quite some time on F9 and it does not
go away! Grr. I just deleted it every time rkhunter
reports it. Probably just ignore the darn thing....
Since there is this nsdc: found in the text, I looked it up:
NSDC(8) BSD System Manager’s Manual NSDC(8)
NAME
nsdc - Name Server Daemon (NSD) control script
So perhaps somewhere in there is the offending /dev/nul script
somewhere...
any idea where to look?
Hmm... I have not seen this before... is this normal?
In /etc/init.d/nsd, there is code in two places that uses:
start()
[...]
/usr/sbin/nsdc rebuild >/dev/null 2>%1
[...]
and
stop()
[...]
/usr/sbin/nsdc patch > /dev/null 2>%1
[...]
what is this: 2>%1 <-- should the % be & as in 2>&1 ???
