Oh - I forgot to than Michael Schwendt for his answer.
I think I like the Fedora way - it has two sets of permissions that get
used, one for when no one is logged in at console - and one for when a
console user is logged in.

That allows really nice control - I like that.
Thus by adjusting the console.perms file - you can give group rw to a
file (or class of files) when the console isn't being used, that are
then revoked when someone logs into the console. That's a really nice
touch.
