Log:
   Buffer overflow in wall(1).

   Revert r286102 and apply a cleaner fix.

You're probably already sick of this change, but I would encourage this instead:

        strlcat(device, line, sizeof(device));

Your current code works, and it's even more efficient than strlcat. However, doing arithmetic on either the first or third argument to strlcpy/strlcat is precisely what caused the overflow that you're fixing. In fact, the size passed by the current code is one byte too small. This is obviously not a real concern in this code, but it demonstrates how easy it is to get these calculations wrong.

        if (strncmp(p, "pts/", 4) == 0)
                p += 4;
        if (strchr(p, '/') != NULL) {
