Enable console login for normal users

UNIX Solaris
1

Dear Frnz

I have a solaris box with running 5.8
My default window manager is CDE.When i login as a normal user and try to open console it is vanishing quickly.
When i check the logs the message is

Wed Nov 21 19:27:03 2007 (/usr/dt/bin/dtexec) /usr/dt/bin/dtterm

/dev/console: Permission denied
-C console access denied

In root login everything works fine.
Where i need to look to enable console login for normal users.

Hey Sri,

What's the reasoning behind giving normal users access to /dev/console? The default permissions in 5.8 on the linked pseudo device (/devices/pseudo/cn@0:console) is:

crw--w---- 1 root tty

I'm not sure I'd go randomly change permissions though unless there's a good reason.

Cheers,

Keith
