Hi,
It seems the xterm has changed lately (Aug 24)? It seems to be linked
to a static version:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 27 Aug 24 13:41 /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm@->
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm-static
The "mesg" function no longer works and produces errors:
$ mesg y
mesg: /dev/ttyp6: Operation not permitted
This prevents the unix talk requests from displaying on the xterm
so I have to switch to console mode to find out who is calling
(or do a "vidcontrol -P < /dev/ttyv0").
I thought I had broken something until it was confirmed by other
users I contacted today. I was also a bit surprised to see that
its now a port of its own. I'd like to see the old behavior
restored if possible. Or have I totally missed the boat somewhere
along the line?
Thanks,
Randy
