I don't understand how this would work. How do you get the canonical
ttyname from /dev/tty ?
Sorry, you're right of course, that didn't make sense.
I've looked at the way libc5's getlogin() works and it uses the first of
stdin,
*traditionally*, you openned /dev/tty, did an fstat(), and the kernel
filled in the real major/minor numbers for the tty you had; then you

How can it? If isatty() is false, then ttyname(3) is null, so
getlogin() can't look up the entry in

Okay, I've got a strange problem here. I'm trying to build a .deb, using
the devscripts tools and dpkg-dev...
I get a utmp error when I try to build:
$ build
no utmp entry available, using value of LOGNAME (brad) at
/usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl line 16.
okay, not a disaster, there, but
