Hi

I started using tripwire to monitor for changed files on my system.
I noticed that /dev/console and /dev/ttys were changed and the
tripwire report showed the following:

[...]

* GID                  wheel (0)                   tty (4)


Is this normal? If so, is it safe to change tripwire's policy to
ignore this changes?

Thanks in advance for your help.
