The first post failed - so again:

Hi all,

Just trying to run xterm and I get a "xterm: no available ptys" message.
Usgin ktrace and looking at the xterm source, there "seems" to be a
difference in TIOCGPGRP handling...

in xterm/main.c:

	#ifdef sun
			int dummy;
			ptydev[5] = 't';
			chown(ptydev, 0, 0);
			chmod(ptydev, 0600);
			ptydev[5] = 'p';
			if (ioctl(*pty,TIOCGPGRP, &dummy) == -1
			    && errno == EIO) {
			    (void) devindex++;
			    return 0;
			}
			close(*pty);
	#else

and ktrace says:

    90 xterm    CALL  chown(0x2d2a0,0,0)
    90 xterm    NAMI  "/dev/ttyp1"
    90 xterm    RET   chown 0
    90 xterm    CALL  chmod(0x2d2a0,0x180)
    90 xterm    NAMI  "/dev/ttyp1"
    90 xterm    RET   chmod 0
    90 xterm    CALL  ioctl(0x4,TIOCGPGRP,0xf7ffeb14)
    90 xterm    RET   ioctl 0
    90 xterm    CALL  close(0x4)

for that bit of code. Should it be returning -1 here ? Or is xterm
broken ?

BTW my cgsix0 is seen and configured - I am short or screen cables at
the moment so I can't try the x server yet.

Have fun now,
