Thank you for your answer. cat /dev/console > ABF cat: /dev/console: Permission denied ls -l /dev/console crw--w--w- 1 root tty 5, 1 Dec 23 10:49 /dev/console (/dev/tty0 gives a similar result) Hmm, I don't know if I really want to change these permissions... I definetely do *not* want to require the users of my program to do that. I don't think they would want to add themselves to group tty either... So, is it possible at all? Robert Epprecht
