One more step towards the resolution of bug 31877 (Not using pam_console by default): basically, we should make sure that the default permissions on devfs systems (as specified in sys-fs/devfsd/files/devfsd.conf) are consistent with the permissions shown in the handbook (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=11) To do so, the following patch should be applied to devfsd.conf.
