And the ones around it. Which clearly aren't needed if /dev is on a
read-only filesystem, anyway. I can't think of an easy way to test
for that case, or I'd suggest patching rc to handle it...
A little less automagical, you could add a conf variable to handle it.
Perhaps something like:
*** rc~ Thu Aug 24 10:26:02 2000
--- rc Thu Aug 24 10:30:47 2000

# Whack the pty perms back into shape.

! chflags 0 /dev/tty[pqrsPQRS]*
! chmod 666 /dev/tty[pqrsPQRS]*
! chown root:wheel /dev/tty[pqrsPQRS]*
# Clean up left-over files
