/dev/null isn't a directory, so it's not wise to use this as homedirectory.

maybe some admin tools will check the type a homedir and maybe change 
the file /dev/null into a directory /dev/null...
(that happend to me a view years ago)
I can't do anything after this, only starting a rescue system and 
recreate /dev/null as dev file.
