| 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
