Subject: using screen under NetBSD 0.9
Message-ID: <1993Sep14.220000.11980@newstand.syr.edu>
Summary: it compiles, but is suboptimal at runtime
Keywords: NetBSD, screen
Organization: Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY

In a recent thread concerning 0.9 corrupting the line settings of
a terminal hard wired to a serial port, <adam@veda.is> suggested
using screen to use a pty to protect the line settings (or something
to this effect). Willing to give this a try, I got screen-3.2b
from a nearby archive site and compiled it. (A few changes were
needed in the config.h, but -DBSDI took care of just about
everything.)
1. Whenever I start screen (on the console for now), I get a message
something like:
fgtty: can't set group pid for tty
2. When csh starts, I see
Warning: inappropriate ioctl for device
...
I haven't spent much time testing screen, but some programs work
fine (emacs, elvis) and some don't (more).
Can anyone give me a hint what is happening here?
Dave
