Hi Everyone
Just came across this issue of incorrect gid in the setup we use.
Since pt_chown is no longer installed by default , I was getting
failures in dvtm(console terminal multiplexer) , I would get no bash
prompt as a normal unprivileged user but worked fine as root
From https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.18#Packaging_Changes
and hence applying to eglibc-2.18
By default the GNU C Library no longer ships or requires the pt_chown
helper binary.
Your system *must* use /dev/pts and mount it with gid 5 in order to
support automatically handling permission changes.
Your distribution should avoid using pt_chown and should instead rely
on /dev/pts to handle the required permission changes. You can still
enable the building and use of pt_chown but you must understand and
accept the risks involved before using --enable-pt_chown as a
configure switch
At the moment we use a gid of 4, hence the problem
Solution move tty to a gid of 5, but this means moving tape's gid, I
suggest 39 as that's the next free one.
Rather do this than install pt_chown as it is considered a security
risk, what do others think
regards
Martin Ward
