Yes, the point node is the directory.
What I do it have it chowned to the user logged on console. It's done by
an entry in /etc/ttyaction. I have this:
# $NetBSD: ttyaction,v 1.1 2000/06/04 00:04:59 perry Exp $
#
# tty action command...
ttyE0 login chown ${USER}.tty /dev/console /zip /cdrom
ttyE1 login chown ${USER}.tty /dev/console /zip /cdrom
ttyE2 login chown ${USER}.tty /dev/console /zip /cdrom
ttyE3 login chown ${USER}.tty /dev/console /zip /cdrom
ttyE4 login chown ${USER}.tty /dev/console /zip /cdrom
If you're using xdm you'll have to do something from
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/{GiveConsole,TakeConsole}

So only users from the group can access it.
