proper set-up of xconsole ?

[<briand@zipcon.net>]

I've noticed that the default persmissions on xconsole are :

~ $ ls -l /dev/xconsole 
prw-r-----    1 root     adm             0 Dec 11 22:52 /dev/xconsole

When I start xconsole in my xsession file it can't access xconsole.

What is the proper way to set permissions.  Should I make interested
users part of the adm group ?

I've read in some deja posts that xdm takes care of this, but I use
startx.

TIA

Brian
