Description of problem:
I dont really know if this is a kernel bug but it didn't start happening until
after I upgraded to the 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp kernel. When a user logs in from the
console, may devices such as /dev/mixer and /dev/floppy change ownership to the
console user, which is normal. However, sometimes after the user logs out, the
ownership permissions are not changed back to root.
