Hi devfs users currently have /dev/vc/* owned by root.tty but mode 666, which poses a security risk i'm said. In any event just cating /dev/vc/0 has interesting effects, and is kind of a DoS attack ... Maybe the security team wants to publish an advisory, I have no idea if this can be used for password sniffing or such. People who need to access those should be added to the tty group. If this is a problem, let me know please. ciao, 2ri -- Help securing email, spread GPG, clearsign all mail. http://www.gnupg.org .
