In my ~/.profile I tell it to enable other users to write to my terminal via 'mesg y'. The following error command is produced: mesg: /dev/ttyp0: Operation not permitted It doesn't matter which xterm I'm on (I currently have 8 open right now), either. Also, with my 8 xterms, obviously there should be logins shown from ptys. Under my condition, there are no pty logins shown via finger or who: [chris@holly /usr2/home/chris] $ finger Login Name TTY Idle Login Time Office Phone chris Chris Costello v0 6:33 Sun 19:10 chris Chris Costello v1 6:37 Tue 21:41 chris Chris Costello v2 8:10 Mon 02:08 chris Chris Costello v3 8:10 Tue 21:28 chris Chris Costello v4 8:31 Sun 19:10 chris Chris Costello v5 8:11 Sun 19:59 chris Chris Costello v6 8:23 Mon 09:49 chris Chris Costello v7 8:25 Thu 19:37 chris Chris Costello v8 6:34 Sun 19:19 chris Chris Costello v9 6:38 Tue 21:40 chris Chris Costello va 18:23 Mon 03:04 chris Chris Costello vb 9:03 Sun 19:20 [chris@holly /usr2/home/chris] $ Who gives me basically the same messages -- no pty logins. Further comparison, I looked at /dev/ttyp0 and /dev/ttyv0, both having logins by user chris (me): [chris@holly /usr2/home/chris] $ ls -l /dev/tty[pv]0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 5, 0 Jan 29 06:25 /dev/ttyp0 crw--w---- 1 chris tty 12, 0 Jan 29 06:15 /dev/ttyv0 >How-To-Repeat: See description. >Fix: I can't come up with a fix at this point in time as I don't understand exactly how tty ownership works. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
