[Brian May]
See bug #87371. The title is wrong. devfs is not the issue,
/dev/pts is (I think). I don't think there is any intention to fix
the bug. Over 4 years old. Perhaps this is grounds to drop the
package from Debian.
[Miles Bader]
I'd say so. Or fix the bug.
Kind of quick and dirty, and not particularly tested, since I don't
actually know how to use ttysnoop.
But it's a proof of concept of how easy it is to add unix98 pty support
to an app
