Subject: /dev/null not writable for users ?

Subject says all : if I am logged onto our SS1000
with normal user account, I cannot do

  cat /etc/hosts > /dev/null

I get /dev/null: Permission denied.

With root, it works, obviously.

This happen only on our server. Clients are OK. I didn't made
any install. The "bad" server run Solaris 2.3 with patches :

101176-01  101317-08  101327-05  101331-03  101384-01  101581-01
101176-03  101318-21  101329-04  101347-01  101416-01
101316-01  101318-41  101329-13  101377-06  101514-01

Any idea ?
