PAM can be configured to chown tty (and other devices) on login. That is probably it. If it's not pam, some other part of the login process has been configured to do so (a non-standard getty or whatever). The kernel is certainly not doing so (except through chown) -- the kernel wouldn't even know where to find matching device file(s) in order to make this change. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
