When a console user logs in they are given the ownership of various devices that are associated with the console (eg the CDROM drive) The file /etc/security/console.perms and the contents of /etc/security/console.perms.d provide the settings to use (on old systems there is no console.perms.d and it was a single file) If its an update of a box whose console.perms was edited in the past you may have a console.perms.rpmnew file you need to drop over console.perms (or merge with it) see man 5 console.perms Alan
