        To use /dev/pts? RXVT is already set to use it, but what of XTERM?
will the new patches (up to 107 now, I believe) handle /dev/pts? And
telnet? anyone come up with a list of this? So far, I have:

rxvt
xterm
telnet
su
biff
w
last

        Those either do not show up in a w or last, or come back with
'can't take input from this terminal' or 'who are you?'. Anyone else know
which programs need to be recompiled for using /dev/pts?

2.6.0 comes with Unix98 PTY support.

Quote:>xterm

xterm comes with Unix98 PTY support, xterm-106 or better is the latest.

Quote:>telnet

Yep.

ddd-3.1.5 is prepared too but pppd needs to be modified (this is true
for 2.3.8 at least).

Mind that some things still work if you've got the obsolete devices
around, so to make sure you've to remove the master and slave devices, then
you'll see what you've missed 8) Mind to a recompile will not do the job
for pppd and telnetd.

        BTW.. forgive the crossposting.

        Which I've already recompiled.

        This, I wasn't sure for. Okay.. >=106 should do.

        2.3.8, I've patched, and compiled. no problem there.

        That, I'm sure on. w and last do work, but mainly for those who are
coming in from a VT/Console. most of the programs come in the latest
util-linux, but some, like su, biff, and telnet, don't. Hopefully, either
the source will be released for that, or the binaries recompiled for
OpenPTY use (YMMV for different dists). Ahh well..
