I would agree with that - the only alternative I could think of is to  
have %post sed the console.perms file, but I don't think I personally  
would like an rpm that changes existing settings in there.

That would also benefit other apps that might need the devices when  
user not logged in at console as well, and should be just as secure if  
no users belong to the group if flumotion is not installed.

I personally always change my console.perms for /dev/dsp anyway so I  
can have cron record my favorite radio show while I'm at school - I  
expect others as well do this sort of thing already anyway for similar  
situations.
