Hello,

I am running the fvwm window manager and would like my users to be able to
run xconsole so tha they may check the console messages.  However, they are
unable to redirect the output since no matter who logs into the console,
it always seems to be owned by root.users.  There evidently must be a way 
to make the 

/dev/console 

file be owned by whomever logged into the terminal.

Thank you,

J Metcalf
