Udev has been standard in distributions for nearly 4 years now ( basically since the conversion to kernel 2.6 ) - Ubuntu has used it since their first release. If the ttyp# and ptyp# devices are not showing up, I suspect it's because Ubuntu's kernel has Unix98 PTY's turned off in it's configuration, or it's version of udev isn't reading the information on the pty devices from sysfs - only by looking at the kernel config file ( often available at /proc/config.gz ) or knowing where the PTY devices appear in sysfs could you find out for sure. -J- _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
