This is pretty weird. When I tried strace on my machine at work, I get
this:
open("/dev/ptyx6", O_RDWR) = 4
access("/dev/ttyx6", R_OK|W_OK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
close(4) = 0
open("/dev/ptyx7", O_RDWR) = 4
access("/dev/ttyx7", R_OK|W_OK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
close(4) = 0
open("/dev/ptyx8", O_RDWR) = 4
access("/dev/ttyx8", R_OK|W_OK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
close(4) = 0
open("/dev/ptyx9", O_RDWR) = 4
access("/dev/ttyx9", R_OK|W_OK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
close(4) = 0
open("/dev/ptyxa", O_RDWR) = 4
access("/dev/ttyxa", R_OK|W_OK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
close(4) = 0
open("/dev/ptyxb", O_RDWR) = 4
access("/dev/ttyxb", R_OK|W_OK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
close(4) = 0
This is just a section of what strace produces. There are 175 such
EACCES errors. But when I run it on my computer at home (basically the
same setup) I get this:
open("/dev/ptyx5", O_RDWR) = 4
access("/dev/ttyx5", R_OK|W_OK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
close(4) = 0
open("/dev/ptyx6", O_RDWR) = 4
access("/dev/ttyx6", R_OK|W_OK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
close(4) = 0
open("/dev/ptyx7", O_RDWR) = 4
access("/dev/ttyx7", R_OK|W_OK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
close(4) = 0
open("/dev/ptyx8", O_RDWR) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
open("/dev/ptyx9", O_RDWR) = 4
access("/dev/ttyx9", R_OK|W_OK) = 0
In this case, there are 135 lines with the EACCES error but then it
succeeds on /dev/ptyx9. I sure don't get it.
