/dev/null, /dev/zero, /dev/random with wrong permissions?

Hello,
since i've done an update some time ago i've had some problems:
- gdm didn't startup
- gnome could be started via startx, but opening a terminal with gnome-session failed

The reason seems to be that several devices are not correctly setup during boot: /dev/null, /dev/zero, /dev/random, /dev/urandom, /dev/ptmx are setup with permissions 660 but they should be created with 666, shouldn't they?

When setting the permissions manually after boot the problems vanish.

How and where is the creation during boot of these files configured? How can the system be configured so that the permissions are correctly setup during boot? 

TIA,
Andreas

Maybe problem with UDEV rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/*

What files do you have there?
