Hi,

Alison Chaiken:

It's an alias to the current real TTY, which is not exactly the same thing.

IMHO "PrivateDevices=yes" is supposed to make sure that this job cannot
mess up any "real" device. Writing junk to /dev/tty0 can mess up my console
quite easily. Therefore, blocking /dev/tty0 is correct.
