Package: libc6 Version: 2.11.2-10 ttyname() should return the name of the tty device in a form than can be used by other processes (with different controlling terminals) to open it.
Steps to reproduce: $ perl -e 'use POSIX; printf "%s\n", ttyname(STDIN)' /dev/pts/117 $ perl -e 'use POSIX; printf "%s\n", ttyname(STDIN)' </dev/tty /dev/tty $ tty /dev/pts/117 $ tty </dev/tty /dev/tty $ Expected output: in a normal xterm or ssh session, `tty </dev/tty' should produce the same output as `tty'.
