SUMMARY: Permissions on /dev/console Device

Sorry I didn't explain the entire problem I was having.

I have a dba account that needs to send a message to the
/dev/console to have a operator mount a backup tape.

Casper showed me a method that will work:

>From Casper:

Well, you could try "syslog" (using the logger command) and make sure that
the specified log message makes it to /dev/console.

You can use one of the local log levels for this.

(logger -p local3.notice "New tape required")

and then

local3.notice /dev/console

in /etc/syslogd.conf

Original Question:

> but the permissions seem to change back to 620.

Thanks,

Mark
