    /dev/tty permissions

    Hi, I get this error when trying to open /dev/tty9::
    $ openvt -c9
    Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console
    $ ls -l /dev/tty9
    crw--w---- 1 root root 4, 9 2010-09-21 23:59 /dev/tty9

    /dev is a devtmpfs. How can I change the group permission of /dev/tty9 without adding myself to group root, and without chgrp stuff? I'm looking for a clean solution to the problem.

    Thanks.
