/dev/tty perms for xlinks2

[Kent West <westk@acu.edu>]

A few days ago xlinks2 was mentioned on this list and I decided to give 
it a try.

When I try to run it from within X as a normal user, no problem.

When I try to run it outside of X as root, no problem.

When I try to run it outside of X as a normal user, I get an error about 
opening /dev/tty0 because of permission issues.

westk@canuhold:~$ ls -l /dev/tty0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 4, 0 2007-03-07 10:04 /dev/tty0

I could change the group to "tty" or something and then add my normal 
user into that group, but is there perhaps a better/safer/more-canonical 
way?

Thanks!
