FW: potato - telnetd can't get pty?
... there are no stupid questions:
strace of in.telnetd showed it accesses /dev/ptmx, and my SuSE i386
Linux in.telnetd doesn't
access /dev/ptmx.
crw-r----- 1 root tty 5, 2 Jan 19 1999 /dev/ptmx
That doesn't work with telnetd.telnetd access rights!
What's wrong here, in.telnetd or the device's initial access?
(everything's rocking with 777 for /dev/ptmx)
Thnx.
