I was thinking about the case where someone has a (very old) static /dev and simply never bothered to add /dev/pts (though I don't know if such a configuration would even work in a modern debian). In any case, does anyone else know if there are really such old applications still around? -Miles -- 自らを空にして、心を開く時、道は開かれる -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
