Moved to bug-hurd, nothing to do with Debian. settrans pty?? /hurd/term /dev/pty?? pty-master /dev/tty?? settrans tty?? /hurd/term /dev/tty?? pty-slave /dev/pty??
Is this necessary? If you wish to use virtual consoles, screen etc, yes. If the output is annoying on the eyes, one could always just pipe the stuff to /dev/null. I know that in Linux, there's a PT master /dev/ptmx, with which, with ioctl, one can trigger the creation of a PT slave /dev/pts/$N where $N is a number. You still have /dev/ptyXY and /dev/ttyXY, so I'm not sure how /dev/pts/N solves this. Could you explain how this is solved? If /dev/pts/N mirrors /dev/ptyXY then one could make a translator (ptymux) that sits on /dev/pts that creates each /dev/pts/N file automagically or something. But I have no idea what /dev/pts is. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
