Hi, I'm using xterm -C and I'd like to know how generally controlling
ownership of /dev/console is performed. I want to capture the output
of the console ... Is there a problem doing that?

Currently, I've had to chown /dev/console to the login user.

Pointers to FAQs welcome if appropriate.

Cheers.
