I've got it too, and it seems that it wasn't changed during the upgrade (no console.perms.rpmnew and it seems to me that it is the same file). > I don't think the setup changed between 6.X and 7.X > > The file is read by the pam_console module and all files listed will get > their permissions changed so the user at the console can use the > device.

And also <xconsole> 0600 <dri> 0600 root.root According to the pam_console man page list, /var/run/console.lock and /var/run/console are important, that's why I posted that in my previous post: /dev/console is in mode 600 owned by root /var/run/console.lock is present in mode 600 owned by root /var/run/console contains a file with name the name of the user currently logged, owned by root with perms 600 I think it shows that the user has his rights given by pam_console.
