That doesn't really help - if an application opens old-style pty's directly the permissions can't work. IF you care for them fill a bugreport to ripperx that it should use openpty() from libc which will fix the problem automatically. Until then we should apply your patch to create the slaves on init so the behaviour is consistant with 2.4 and 2.6 without devfs. I was just wondering whether you were using an acient / stripped down libc with the pt_chown helper removed. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ On Tue, Sep 02, 2003 at 08:16:54PM +0200, Andrew Lunn wrote: > > That's why I'm really keen on knowing how the system of the bugreporter > > looks - this shouldn't happen without a very strange setup. > > I've attached to the bugzilla bug my .config (its actually for -test2) > and an ls -la /dev/pt* > > Is there anything else you want to know?
