Subject:   Problem with poppassd

I'm running FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE and I'm having a problem with poppassd.

The kernel is pretty standard, except that it is built to allow 256
simultaneous terminal connections.

I keep getting
<blah>: can't open slave pty: Permission denied
whenever I try to use poppassd to change the password.
The session stalls out right after newpass is entered.

I recompiled poppassd to provide the exact pty that it found and is trying
to use, and its output is as follows:
<blah>: can't open slave pty: (/dev/ttype) Permission denied

Any ideas where I should look next?
