Hello
I wonder what for /dev/null can be used by named inside of it's chroot() ? Any
ideas? I guess glibc itself doesn't really need it.
/dev/random for example is no longer needed since bind can use /dev/random
from outside of chroot (it opens it early and keeps descriptor).
Now if /dev/null could be dropped, too then it would be great.
ps. bind 9.4.1-2 makes it way to ac-ready now, please test it
