I'm not sure what's correct... Here's what it looks like here. crw--w--w- 1 root tty 5, 1 Jan 26 15:51 /dev/console crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 0 Jan 26 14:13 /dev/tty crw--w--w- 1 root root 4, 0 Jan 26 15:51 /dev/tty0 crw------- 1 root root 4, 1 Jan 31 03:05 /dev/tty1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 4, 10 Jan 26 15:51 /dev/tty10 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 4, 11 Jan 26 15:51 /dev/tty11 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4, 12 Jan 31 12:53 /dev/tty12 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 4, 2 Jan 26 15:51 /dev/tty2 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 4, 3 Jan 26 15:51 /dev/tty3 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 4, 4 Jan 26 15:51 /dev/tty4 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 4, 5 Jan 26 15:51 /dev/tty5 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 4, 6 Jan 26 15:51 /dev/tty6 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4, 7 Jan 26 15:51 /dev/tty7 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 4, 8 Jan 26 15:51 /dev/tty8 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 4, 9 Jan 26 15:51 /dev/tty9 I think these are wrong. "/dev/tty{1,2}" have `getty' running on them right now. "/dev/tty12" has output from `syslog-ng'. According to W. Richard Stevens, in "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment", they should be something like `root.tty' `u=rw,g=w,o='. I don't see why these ought to be world writeable like this. The `getty' runs as root, writeable for group tty is for `write', `sendmsg', and `wall'. I think that the section at the top of `MAKEDEV' where the permissions are configured ought to be pulled out into a conffile down in "/etc".
