Hi,

I just noticed this on /dev/ttyp2:

konsole_grantpty: cannot determine the name of device.
konsole: chownpty failed for device /dev/ptyp0::/dev/ttyp0.
: This means the session can be eavesdroped.
: Make sure konsole_grantpty is installed in
: /usr/local/bin and setuid root.

konsole_grantpty is located in /usr/local/bin:

-rwsr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     4836 Nov 16  2000 konsole_grantpty 

Should I be concerned?

What does it mean?

Thanks

Joe
