I dunno..
On 4.x I get this in my .xsession-errors file ->
konsole: cannot chown /dev/ttyp2.
Reason: Operation not permitted
konsole: chownpty failed for device /dev/ptyp2::/dev/ttyp2.
: This means the session can be eavesdroped.
: Make sure konsole_grantpty is installed in
: /usr/local/bin/ and setuid root.
It is as expected I think ->
[chowder 13:53] ~ >ll /dev/ttyp2
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 5, 2 Aug 25 13:53 /dev/ttyp2
[chowder 13:53] ~ >ll /usr/local/bin/konsole_grantpty
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5584 Aug 13 04:06 /usr/local/bin/konsole_grantpty
I found that a 5.1-REL machine I upgraded to -CURRENT last Thursday had this
problem, I haven't resolved it yet, but possibly rebuilding kdebase will fix
it.
