I chrooted apache to /www.
In order to run a java program from a web page, java needs a /dev/null
inside the chroot.
I don't want to create another whole /dev/ dir with all the disk raw
devices there to be read for anyone who cracks root. I just want a
/www/dev/null file.
I tried creating a node with mknod exactly like the node in /dev but
it doesn't work in freebsd 6. /dev/ is special now and you can't just
create nodes anywhere like the old days.
Is there a way to create a /www/dev/null which acts just like /dev/null?
