+<!--beginarticle-->
+<PRE>I am having problems with utility programs that do serial I/O and use 
+locks in /var/lock/tty (and they often require group ownership of this 
+directory to be dialout (back in the past it was tty).
+
+In the past, it was sufficient to create /var/lock/tty after system 
+generation. In Mageia 3 /var/lock/tty now disappears at each reboot, 
+which breaks the locking facility of these programs (in Mageia 3 
+/var/lock/ is a link to /var/run, which in turn links to /run)
+
+Is this design, a bug, a consequence of the run-dir support that comes 
+with Mageia 3? I guess it is the last. What can be done to make these 
+programs work again (they run at user level and do not have the 
+priviledges to, at run-time, create /var/lock/tty with the correct 
+ownership)?
+</PRE>
