Actually why this node is made? Why kernel default not providing a control terminal on /dev/console but on other device ? It is not surprising that we can use CTRL-C to terminate some process on i386 linux on the Desktop machine, is that mean the shell on our desktop is not using /dev/console ? so where are the shell running on? Hope anyone can do me a favour.
