I have been fighting with RH 7.0 trying to make it work with devfs and the lk 2.4 series. This is the second time round the loop as I did the same with RH 6.2 .
The /etc/securetty file no longer needs to be changed but /etc/security/console.perms needs a different patch to allow non-root users to start X:
--- /etc/security/console.perms_rh70 Tue Aug 22 21:19:33 2000 +++ /etc/security/console.perms Fri Oct 13 20:08:58 2000 @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ # man 5 console.perms # file classes -- these are regular expressions -<console>=tty[0-9][0-9]* :[0-9]\.[0-9] :[0-9] +<console>=tty[0-9][0-9]* vc/[0-9][0-9]* :[0-9]\.[0-9] :[0-9] <xconsole>=:[0-9]\.[0-9] :[0-9] # device classes -- these are shell-style globs
Hopefully this patch does not compromise security.
