I run Slackware 10 and got this in /etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions :
# console devices console:root:tty:0600 tty:root:tty:0666 tty[0-9][0-9]*:root:tty:0660 vc/[0-9]*:root:tty:0660
But the real problem is not permissions but the fact that /dev/tty is a directory now not a character device. Is this intended? If yes this will break many userspace applications which will assume /dev/tty is a character device. Greg can you please comment?
Cheers, ismail
