Okay.

Okay, that worked.

The cannot write to /dev/null errors seem critical to me.

But they have nothing to do with nx per se.

/dev/null should look like:

crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root       1,   3 2004-05-02 02:57 /dev/null

This seems to be a packaging error, but is not critical as it works for lots of people on CentOS.

I should add a note in next release announcement to also check nxloadconfig --check.

Hope that helps and thank you for your detailed report!
