I'm out of the office (and mostly on holiday) til next Wed.
I've not carefully gone over the comments on names, and
possibly won't til I return. My point about "owner" was two
fold:
Legacy defines
console-owner a user who owns the
system console device
node
(and this meant stat("/dev/console") and look
at st_uid. I don't have an issue not following legacy
other than the next point.
Second, the term "user" seems too generic in terms of adding
Rights automatically. Particular in when Virtual Consoles
is configured. I like Joerg's comment "besitzer" and haven't
found a good English subsititute ;-)
Workstation/Console controller/possessor doesn't seen to flow ;-(
