These have to do with installation.
1. Look for a way to find what group the TTYs belong to, give cons.saver
to that group and install it r-x to run setgid (chmod 2555, I think).
That, I believe, ought to keep up both security and convenience.
2. While at it, do a sanity check on the tty, vcs and vcsa devices in
case we're on a 2.4 kernel with static devices, and (if we're root and
have been given an OK (./configure --enable-tty-sanitation, perhaps))
fix them if they're off.
As to why I've already installed the -pre1, pointing /bin/sh at a
dynalinked shell (ash or bash) really sent mc around the bend. Yesterday
I even had two confused instances of mc at the same time, one on ssh,
the other on the console.
Oh, and just for the hack of it, I went and compiled mc 3.2.11 this
morning, just to see if it would. It would, after a bit of cajoling. And
it even ran, in glorious monochrome VTvision. Eat your heart out,
Hollywood. This is *real* retro.
