Hello, It definitely looks like posix_openpt (perhaps) and ptsname/grantpt (most probably) do not work as they should under -CURRENT. Examples: mc (misc/mc) reports: subshell.c: couldn't open master side of pty pty_open_master: Permission denied KDE (at least CVS, but it's pty handling did not change recently) complaints about chown The simplest example: #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> main() { int pty_master; char *master_name, *slave_name; struct stat sb; pty_master = posix_openpt(O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY); fstat(pty_master, &sb); if (grantpt (pty_master) < 0) { printf("Fail: grantpt\n"); } if (unlockpt (pty_master) < 0) { printf("Fail: unlocktpt\n"); } master_name = devname(sb.st_rdev, S_IFCHR); slave_name = ptsname (pty_master); printf("Open master: /dev/%s, slave: %s\n", master_name, slave_name); close (pty_master); return 0; } gives an absurd output: ~> ./ptytest Fail: grantpt Open master: /dev/ptyp0, slave: /dev/ttysu ^^^^^^^^^^ grantpt() here also fails.
