Can someone tell me why xconsole called without the '-file' option isn't able to read /dev/console? I have /dev/console world readable:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4, 0 Apr 6 18:58 /dev/console Yet it says it isn't able to open console. On the other hand, "xconsole -file /dev/console" works... I know I can use /dev/xconsole, and that works as well since you specifically have to specify the -file option. This is an issue of compatibility across different machine types and I'd like xconsole to be able to read from /dev/console without having to specify the file.
