srwxrwxrwx & prwxrwxrwx

["G. Crimp" <ye416@victoria.tc.ca>]

	I'm transferring an existing Debian installation from an small disk
to a new big one.  I used tar to move all the files over.  For the most part
all the permissions and other attributes were preserved, but a few were not. 
Most notably all sockets were made into pipes in /dev and in /var/run.  Does
this matter ? If so, any ideas how to change them back to srwxrwxrwx ?

	Thanks,

	Gerald Crimp
