OK I understand what is being said here, although it seems a bit unlikely (daemon process opens a tty), but what is puzzling me is why, if it's so necessary, does neither Linux nor *BSD do this in their daemon() functions? It would seem surprising if the operating system authors don't know how to make a daemon process in their own OS ;-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
