permissions of tty devices

[Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>]

The latest sysvinit package complains if you run "mesg y" while the tty 
device is not group "tty".

Using unix98 PTY support with devfs on kernel 2.4.6 results in pseudo-tty 
devices being created with the primary group of the user.

What does devpts without devfs give on recent kernels?

Should I setup devfsd to default to changing the pseudo-tty devices to group 
"tty"?
