tty0 permission changed after reboot

#1 (**permalink**) 01-05-2008, 05:26 AM

Hi,

i have a problem with my p630 (AIX5.2). TTY0's permission will changed
to 600 everytime we did a reboot. I had to manually change it to 666
when the server is up. I really don't know what went wrong. I really
appreciate any comment on this.

If you have a getty running on the tty (or the console if tty0 is the
console) then these permissions are correct to prevent others from being
able to read from the tty during the login process.
