A warning for BSD pseudo terminal users http://lwn.net/Articles/70487/#Comments http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0402.1/0655.html I really do not know if bsd pty will be removed or not but it is a point against moving to bsd first. http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0402.1/0552.html Using BSD ptys is a security hazard. They should *definitely* not be usef preferentially. On my system (RH9) they aren't used by telnet even though they exist. -hpa I suggest one keep posix first.
