 |  
 |  It's not a part of xterm nor of X itself.
 |  
 |  It's part of NetBSD's sources:
 |  
 |  src/libexec/utmp_update/utmp_update.c
 |  
 |  110 (void)snprintf(tty, sizeof(tty), "%s%s", _PATH_DEV, utx->ut_line);
 |  111 fd = open(tty, O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK, 0);
 |  112 if (fd != -1) {
 |  113         if (fstat(fd, &st) == -1)
 |  114                 err(1, "Cannot stat `%s'", tty);
 |  115         if (ruid != 0 && st.st_uid != ruid)
 |  116                 errx(1, "%s: Is not owned by you", tty);
 |  117         if (!isatty(fd))
 |  118                 errx(1, "%s: Not a tty device", tty);
 |  119         (void)close(fd);
 |  120         if (access(tty, W_OK|R_OK) == -1)
 |  121                 err(1, "%s", tty);
 |  
 |  In xterm I have:
 |  
 |  main.c:
 |  
 |  2693 set_owner(char *device, uid_t uid, gid_t gid, mode_t mode)
 |  2694 {
 |  2695     if (chown(device, uid, gid) < 0) {
 |  2696         if (errno != ENOENT
 |  2697             && getuid() == 0) {
 |  2698             fprintf(stderr, "Cannot chown %s to %ld,%ld: %s\n",
 |  2699                     device, (long) uid, (long) gid, strerror(errno));
 |  2700         }
 |  2701     }
 |  2702     chmod(device, mode);
 |  2703 }
 |  
 |  What does your xtermcfg.h all contain after running bmake configure?
 
 xterm should not be running setuid, and the chowning of the slave device
 is happening in the kernel.
