    15:24:40 js@mxx:/opt/archive$ sudo adduser sysadm tty
    Adding user sysadm to group tty...
    Done.
    15:24:48 js@mxx:/opt/archive$ sudo su - sysadm
    /dev/pts/0: Operation not permitted
    15:24:54 sysadm@mxx:~$

    I have also added js to tty, but it did not make a difference.

    Regards
    Johann
