Details

Udev on archlinux does not create /dev/tty*, but uses /dev/vc/* instead. Not having these will break some applications now and then. /dev/tty* is the normal standard, where /dev/vc/* is from the ancient devfs times. Please either update udev to create /dev/tty* as device instead of /dev/vc/*, or provide symlinks. If you take the approach of replacing /dev/vc/* with /dev/tty/*, be sure to update inittab and /etc/securetty.
