the problem here is that there is no clean way to find out
the owner of /dev/console from within the kernel. ideally
TIOCCONS should be limited to root and this user. this is
something i tried to solve about 5 years ago but failed.
(perhaps it should also be based on the permissions of
/dev/console -- world writable, and anyone can have it).
