Removing files in devfs

Hello,

        Is this behaviour supposed to be?

9:36 root@kiza /dev# l null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jan 1 1970 null
9:36 root@kiza /dev# rm null
removing `null'
9:36 root@kiza /dev# l null
ls: null: No such file or directory
9:36 root@kiza /dev#

        I have kernel 2.4.16 with devfs and on every other system I tried I
only get "rm: cannot unlink `null': Operation not permitted" when trying to
delete something in devfs. And I cannot see any differences as far as devfs is
concerned on the systems I tried. devfs compiled in, mounted on boot time,
same version of devfsd.

Regards,

Oliver
