And how does > pam come into play here? Doesn't it allow us to do some of this for us? The pam_console module RH ships does this, based on a config file that has device names in it. Obviously, the fact that the config file lists device names could run afoul of udev. As for logout, udev removing the device node does avoid the chmod problem. Of course, we need revoke() to really do it right... :) Bill ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
