CentOS - Nov 2010 - something chmod'ing /dev/null

it looks like one of the recent updates will sometimes chmod /dev/null
to 600.  out of 20 machines i've updated, 3 of them had the odd
/dev/null perms afterwards.  i haven't tried to identify what it doing
it yet, but wanted to give a heads up to others that might start seeing
weird behavior.

Look in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules.  My copy has the line:

KERNEL=="null",                 MODE="0666",
OPTIONS="last_rule"

You haven't managed to mess with this rule?
