SVN rev 202487 on 2010-01-17 15:43:14Z by ed
Simplify ttyslot(3).
After comparing how other systems deal with utmp/utmpx, I noticed many
systems don't even care about ttyslot(3) anymore, since utmpx doesn't
use TTY slots anyway. We don't provide any tools to access old utmp
files anymore, so there is no use in letting applications write to a
proper offset within the utmp file.
Just let ttyslot(3) always return 0, which seems to be the default
behaviour on operating systems like Linux as well.
