Sudo is wrong, and I'm not sure that suggested patch fixes it.
I dunno why it is relying on the device ID there, but it in general is a
less secure solution than just using su(1).

In general that's probably OK for something like a laptop or a desktop
with similarly limited operation.
However for a system that has the possibility of both a serial console
and a keyboard and monitor, /dev/constty is the best way to access the
console.

I've used "options HZ=1024" (or 1000) on all my systems since 1.6 or
even before.
