You can't re-open the tty because a process is holding on to it, not closing it and not killable. Fedora shouldn't be holding these devices open this way. The behaviour we have of refusing to reopen them why this is the case is both a) what the spec seems to say b) good security. We can half ignore it on console for the simple reason that you don't "dial in" to the console. I suspect it may be abusable but I've not found a way to do so. > I have no idea what's the root cause of this, there seems to be a lot of > black magic > involved. > Alan, do you think the issues are caused by Fedora's broken user space? See what fuser says about open file handles and if that is what is going on.
