We can probably live withthat (although xterm I think is not doing this
anymore)
The other problems do exist though in regard to /dev/ttyv0 (or whatewver
the console is at the moment)
1) The group is set to "mit", this is wrong and should be left as "tty"
2) It set world readable. Right now, it is not a problem, but it really
should be 0622 when a user is logged in and 0666 on user logout.
