I wrote: > I just checked the code and I see no where where bootlogd attempts to open a > UNIX98 PTY. So why do you claim that it does? (bootlogd uses openpty(3).) OK, contrary to what the man page says, openpty() _does_ attempt to open unix98 PTYs before it looks at the legacy PTY device nodes. I just checked this using a little test program and strace (libc6 2.3.5-11). Sorry for the noise. -- Thomas Hood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
