A few days ago xlinks2 was mentioned on this list and I decided to
give it a try.
When I try to run it from within X as a normal user, no problem.
When I try to run it outside of X as root, no problem.
When I try to run it outside of X as a normal user, I get an error
about opening /dev/tty0 because of permission issues.

I could change the group to "tty" or something and then add my normal
user into that group, but is there perhaps a
better/safer/more-canonical way?
Interesting. On my system:
ls -l /dev/tty2
crw------- 1 amp77 tty 4, 2 2007-03-27 23:20 /dev/tty2
What are you running (stable, testing, ...?)
Etch
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /dev/tty2
crw------- 1 westk tty 4, 2 2007-03-26 14:13 /dev/tty2
On this box, tty2 is the only file owned by me and the group tty; all
others are root.root (until you get to the tty[a..z] group, which is
then root.tty).
