I think it is maybe agetty that does this?  Maybe that is why it is called
" A GET TTY " ?  I think programs that run out of init are not supposed to
have a controlling terminal.  There is a system call to get one.  You will
have to modify the kiss source code... Look into the TIOCSCTTY ioctl call.

This is not off topic, send "info tomsrtbt" to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" for
the topic guidelines.
