Doh!. I've sorted it. I was trying to run ppp in the debugger to try and
learn what caused the messages in it's log. Turns out there's a
workround in it for a bug in the tty driver, it was this that was
causing the message!....
close(STDIN_FILENO);
if (open(_PATH_TTY, O_RDONLY) != STDIN_FILENO) {
fprintf(stderr, "Cannot open %s for input !\n", _PATH_TTY);
return 2;
I've tried several other progs and it works fine (ppp also works but you
have to run it the same window as the debugger - I wanted to separate
the output from ppp and gdb)
Thanks for your help.
