How did you change? "su"? "su -"?
Both I think. Let me confirm...
$ ssh root@tp2
# su - padraig
$ ls -lH /dev/stderr
crw--w----. 1 root tty 136, 4 Mar 6 22:35 /dev/stderr
$ exit
# su padraig
$ ls -lH /dev/stderr
crw--w----. 1 root tty 136, 4 Mar 6 22:35 /dev/stderr
Note I don't think the device ownership or permissions have
changed from what was there in previous releases.
Just the `test -r` which doesn't seem to handle all cases.
cheers,
Pádraig.
