Brashear" <db74+@andrew.cmu.edu> Newsgroups: comp.unix.ultrix,comp.unix.bsd Subject: /dev/tty troubles w/telnet on Ultrix Date: Fri, 20 May 1994 09:18:29 -0400 Organization: Junior, Civil Engineering, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 18 Message-ID: <4hr=WZi00Vp6JVQ41J@andrew.cmu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: po3.andrew.cmu.edu Hi, I'm currently working with the telnet that was distributed with the original 4.4 bsd. I'm aware there's a newer version available, however, it appears not to work under Ultrix at all, and I don't have time to debug it. At some point in the code, and only under Ultrix, but not SunOS or HP-UX, /dev/tty is apparently becoming disassociated with the process group, and hence after logging in using this telnet people cannot use /dev/tty (so programs like resize just don't work). I'm led to believe this is something Ultrix specific, something Ultrix handles differently then other BSD-based OS's. Has anybody heard of anything like this before? Oh, BTW, it's Ultrix 4.2, and I have no control over the OS being upgraded. Many thanks, -D
