/dev directory

I am removing a user from an N-box. I did a find to see hpw many files they had on the box. I am seeing some tty files in hte /dev/directory owned by this user. Should I change them to bin:bin or root:root. Any ideas????

Thanks

If memory serves me right...pty and tty files showing owned by user indicate logged in using that tty connection....so.....

I would do a who -u and see if you see any logins of this user hanging around? and get rid of them first.

Just a thought,
/rcw
