   2  *  \brief Header: general purpose Linux console screen save/restore server
   3  *
   4  *  This code does _not_ need to be setuid root. However, it needs
   5  *  read/write access to /dev/vcsa* (which is priviledged
   6  *  operation). You should create user vcsa, make cons.saver setuid
   7  *  user vcsa, and make all vcsa's owned by user vcsa.
   8  *  Seeing other peoples consoles is bad thing, but believe me, full
   9  *  root is even worse.
