> How do traditional Unix permissions encode things like "Is this user currently logged in at a physical console"?
I really wish the answer was as simple as `fuser -u /dev/tty* | grep $USER`. It isn't, because X, but it could've been. Doesn't even have to be a device file.

That's still not something you can encode as a permission - you'd have to look it up after determining which user has connected to the socket.
