Summary:                    bbox login doesn't chown/chmod /dev/vcs[a]NN devices
on linux. Util-linux one does.
Description: 
The result is that Midnight Commander is not able to toggle panels on Linux
virtual consoles.

I suggest not coding that functionality into login, but providing an
option to run custom script after user is authenticated, but before setuid
to $uid is done.

This way complexity of all imaginable custom needs (Linux's /dev/vcs[a]s
are an example of a custom hack needed for a particular platform) will be
kept separate.

The option may take form of a magic env variable, like
LOGIN_PRESUID_SCRIPT=xxx.
