re,
Anybody can explain this problem? I use screen from ordinary user
and can grab console even if no read permission to /dev/console

No. The TIOCCONS ioctl is done with the uid of the user. Anybody
can compile a program that does the ioctl. If your OS allows the
ioctl even if the user does not own /dev/console or has read
permissions, it's the fault of the OS.
