[scponly] can't start sftp-server on Fedora Core 5

[Kaleb Pederson]

In looking at the additional files you e-mailed me:

...
open("/dev/null", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE)   = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
write(2, "Couldn\'t open /dev/null: Permiss"..., 42) = 42

You should probably fix permissions on /dev/null.

I'm not running selinux, nor have I played with it yet, but it's definitely 
trying to use it:

...
open("/etc/selinux/targeted/seusers", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 8
...
open("/selinux/user", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 8
...
open("/proc/self/attr/current", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 6
read(6, "system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s"..., 4095) = 45
...

It doesn't look like it's causing any problems... but I'm not positive there.

Try that and let us know.

Thanks.
