Hello.
I am trying to track down the reason why
messages I send to /dev/console
have suddenly stopped appearing
when I am running in an `xterm' window
unless I running as superuser
but continue to appear if I am not running in X.
That is, if before I crank up X I (as gonzo) do
[gonzo]:~ echo barf > /dev/console
I get
barf
but if I do the same thing in `xterm' I get zilch unless I do a `su'.
I don't have the faintest idea what caused this problem
or how to fix it, so even the tiniest clue will be greatly apreciated.
Thank you.
Cheers,
Bill
