WABI fails to work after an Linux update

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 5.1

Symptom:

You have updated your S.u.S.E. Linux to version 5.1. Now wabi refuses to run.

Cause:

In S.u.S.E. Linux 5.1 the permissions of the device file /dev/zero have been changed to 644. Normally this is set to 666 when wabi is installed. Anyway this is an update and wabi is not installed.

Solution:

Please change the permissions of /dev/zero:
chmod 666 /dev/zero
