Ah, that's indeed something I didn't know. Well, in that case we still need pseudo-terminals. > Surely there must be a way to tie rfcomm_sppd down to a specific pts > number, or failing that, teach it to report the pts which it got > allocated? Well, with MPSAFE TTY the only way pseudo-terminals should be allocated, is by calling posix_openpt(). The device name is determined by a simple unrhdr (alloc_unr(9)). There is no actual way to influence the naming, so I guess we should make rfcomm_sppd just use a random device name. We could maybe solve this by creating a symlink to the TTY? -- Ed Schouten <ed@80386.nl> WWW: http://80386.nl/ [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkmdCmEACgkQ52SDGA2eCwVpKgCfQ2W+Ob+vFdeJZB7jPhfjldU3 H8UAn3J8/WFrsvQTeBuB6PhquuIYKJsd =vh40 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
