SECURITY

21       Cons.saver does not need to be invoked by root.  It only needs read and
22       write  access  to  /dev/vcsa*,  which  is a priviledged operation.  You
23       should create an unprivileged user,  make  cons.saver  setuid  to  that
24       user, and assure that all the vcsa* are owned by that user too.
