You MUST have a /dev/tty device on your system. Using batch processing is truly independent. That's a work around for update-inetd working in your condition (i.e. without a controlling terminal). That's of course an update-inetd problem, not a proftpd one. What's a non sense is not having a /dev/tty at all on your system. That's different from executing 'tty' at command prompt... > What for do You need to redirect to/form /dev/tty? This is only > package with this strange problem/bug/feature.

It's a largerly used trick for any program using that crappy command. -- Francesco P. Lovergine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
