/etc/login.defs contains: > # > # Terminal permissions > # > # TTYGROUP Login tty will be assigned this group ownership. > # TTYPERM Login tty will be set to this permission. > # > # If you have a write(1) program which is "setgid" to a special group > # which owns the terminals, define TTYGROUP as the number of such group > # and TTYPERM as 0620. Otherwise leave TTYGROUP commented out and > # set TTYPERM to either 622 or 600. > # > # In Debian, write(1) similar programs are setgid tty. > # However, the default and recommended value for TTYPERM is still 0600 > # to not allow anyone to write to anyone else console or terminal. > # > # Users can still allow other people to write them by issuing > # the "mesg y" command. > # > TTYGROUP tty > TTYPERM 0600 Those three paragraphs are no longer relevant in Debian, as we no longer ship write(1) or mesg(1). Only the heading and the description of the two options are needed. -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: arm64 Kernel: Linux 6.11.7-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- no debconf information
