freebsd stable - Oct 2003 - too restrictive permissions on /dev after upgrade rc1->rc2

Hi,

After my last upgrade (Oct 10th) + buildworld cycle I've noticed some
weird things:

/dev/null, /dev/std{in,out,err} and /dev/[u]?random are 600, so no one
can do anything with them (make buildworld fails with "can't create
/dev/null", slogin says "PRNG not seeded").

After chmod'ing as I felt convinient, now slogin doesn't work (I
can't
type my password in the keyboard):

If I try this with DISPLAY=0.0 environment, the last lines are:

I have stock versions of /etc/pam.conf and /etc/ssh/* et al., which
makes me wonder:

1.- Am I the only one seeing this?
2.- Is this a bug or a feature?
3.- How should I set up ssh to ask me the password again?

So is /dev/zero. The most annoying thing is to discover it every time
something fails (i.e.: buildworld)
