[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#367432: initscripts: Still different TTY permissions in /etc/login.defs and /etc/default/devpts

[Jan Sievers]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-13.1+squeeze1
Severity: normal

The mentioned difference still exists.

While most people probably don't care about bsd-write and Co., an
administrator of a multiuser machine should.

Since it has become quite uncommon to use these programs, a default of

TTYMODE=0600

would result in one thing less to think about.
