[issue9569] Add tests for posix.mknod() and posix.mkfifo()

[David Watson]

David Watson <baikie at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but the man page for FreeBSD 5.3 specifies EPERM for an unprivileged user and EINVAL for an attempt to create something other than a device node.  POSIX requires creating a FIFO to work for any user, and just says that EINVAL is for an "invalid argument".
