That's surprising. Drawterm isn't going around enforcing permission bits: if it can write, it writes. What it shows you in ls is what it gets from stat, but it doesn't rely on that to make decisions about what you can open. It just tries to open it. http://cvs.pdos.csail.mit.edu/cvs/drawterm/kern/devfs-posix.c?rev=1.5;content-type=text%2Fplain Russ
