We try to establish the most secure defaults that we can for a system and then allow the users to lighten those restrictions, so while in your case, it would make more sense for the default permissions to be set to 666, it would not make more sense for an administrator of a more secure system. We try to err on the side of safety. No, this really is a bug... Should be 660 permissions Will be fixed in the next release of pam. In the meantime, you can modify the floppy entry in /etc/security/console.perms to read <console> 0660 <floppy> 0660 root |
