FreeBSD insists that /dev/ptyp? are not tty's I guess. Working around that gave me other errors that I've not tracked down yet having to do with calls to waitpid() which return an error of ECHILD, even though the child was successfully run (my modified konsole_grantpty). I'm at the limits of my current knowledge, so I'm afraid that I can't help much more, but maybe that'll get you or someone else started. :-( -- Keith Walker kew@icehouse.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
