Hi there,

Any plans to include support for pam_console (and /var/lock/console*,
/etc/security/console*) in devfs, so that when a module was loaded (and
consequently would register the devices at the device fs, it would chown
it to the owner of the console as RH already does to the static devices?

I understand this is not a perfect solution, but I believe it is a simple
one. It would be even better if devfs supported ACLs and when the modules
registered the devices, a ACL would be added allowing device access to the
console owner to the device. Any plans of implementing POSIX ACLs in
devfs? How would it be done? the ACL commands would be passed to devfsd
that then would take proper action?

TIA,
