I tried to create more ttys for virtual consoles (/dev/tty9, /dev/tty10 ...) the other day with /dev/MAKEDEV. In the process of doing this and experimenting with open I managed to make a mess of my system. The command "startx" no longer works when run as a normal user. XDM and startx as root work, so I think the problem is with tty permissions. The startx thing isn't very crucial as I prefer XDM but still I'd like to know how to make startx and things such as open zsh (to get shell in a new VC) or open abuse.console (to vent my frustrations) work correctly without being logged in as root.
What are the correct permissions, owner, group and other attributes for virtual console ttys with no getty if I want use them as a normal user with "open" command e.g. "open zsh" or "open abuse.console" and for startx? My hardware is a 486 with Quadtel/ASI Trident 9400Cxi VLB display adapter and I'm running hamm (nearly the newest packages) with kernel 2.0.32.
