xterm -C and TIOCCONS vs. PRIV_TTY_CONSOLE

2011-01-06 Thread Craig Leres
I recently upgraded my desktop from 7.2-RELEASE to 8.1-RELEASE and noticed that I no longer get biff messages in my "console" xterm window. I traced this to: xterm: cannot open console: Operation not permitted and see that the TIOCCONS code in tty_generic_ioctl() is checking for PRIV_TTY_CONS
