Closes #457 The existing prose was confusing, or simply wrong. Make it clear that only the group ownership of the tty is affected, and how. Also move the paragraph about defaults after the discussion of acceptable TTYGROUPs, as this seems more natural. Signed-off-by: Serge Hallyn <serge@hallyn.com>

The terminal permissions: the login tty will be owned by the
|
|
<option>TTYGROUP</option> group, and the permissions will be set to
|
|
<option>TTYPERM</option>.
|
|
</para>
|

<para>
|

<option>TTYGROUP</option> can be either the name of a group or a

numeric group identifier.

<para>

If TTYGROUP is not defined, then the group ownership of the terminal is
|
|
set to the user's primary group. If TTYPERM is not defined, then the
|
|
permissions are set to
|
|
<replaceable>0600</replaceable>.

<para>

|
If you have a <command>write</command> program which is "setgid" to
|
|
a special group which owns the terminals, define TTYGROUP to the
|
|
group number and TTYPERM to 0620. Otherwise leave TTYGROUP
|
|
commented out and assign TTYPERM to either 622 or 600.
