Summary

0000915: bbox login doesn't chown/chmod /dev/vcs[a]NN devices on linux. Util-linux one does.

Description

The result is that Midnight Commander is not able to toggle panels on Linux virtual consoles.

I suggest not coding that functionality into login, but providing an option to run custom script after user is authenticated, but before setuid to $uid is done.

This way complexity of all imaginable custom needs (Linux's /dev/vcs[a]s are an example of a custom hack needed for a particular platform) will be kept separate.

The option may take form of a magic env variable, like LOGIN_PRESUID_SCRIPT=xxx.
