求助：/dev/console问题

zhiyizhi

我在fedora13安装好了beep后，发现在root权限下能正常运行，但是在普通用户权限下运行时出现：
$ beep
Could not open /dev/console for writing.
open: Permission denied
后来试过好几种方法都没有解决，到底怎么回事？

The  short  story  is,  the
       kernel checks that either:

       - you are the superuser

       - you own the current tty

       What  this means is that root can always make beep work (to the best of
       my knowledge!), and that any local user can make beep work, BUT a  non-
       root  remote user cannot use beep in it’s natural state.  What’s worse,
       an xterm, or other x-session counts, as far as the kernel is concerned,
       as ’remote’, so beep won’t work from a non-priviledged xterm either.  I
       had originally chalked this up to a bug, but there’s actually nothing I
       can  do  about  it,  and it really is a Good Thing that the kernel does
       things this way.  There is also a solution.
