Subject: Wrong Permissions on tty

The newest xterm set the wrong permissions on tty:
ikki:~> ls -l `tty`
crw--w--w- 1 klaus ethgen 136, 9 2006-01-25 22:50 /dev/pts/9
this should be:
crw--w--w- 1 klaus tty 136, 9 2006-01-25 22:50 /dev/pts/9
/etc/default/devpts:
# GID of the `tty' group
TTYGRP=5
...
(gid 5 is group tty
This wrong permissions are problematic with other tools.

I believe this is the same problem as #349142.
I think it's a case where the build environment lacks a "tty" in its /etc/group
file, and have added an option to the configure script to allow the packager to
force it to work around this case (will be in #209).

Yes, its the same. I didn't find this Bug in the list.
A small note:
As I know (not absolutely true) it is not the job of the terminal to set
the rights of /dev/pts/* this will be done automaticaly on creation. So
xterm shouldn't touch the rights if they are still correct.
Regards
Klaus

no problem.

I suppose so. But I recall seeing some implementation where it was owned
by root (and therefore not writable by the user). That sort of thing is
why it's necessary to be able to install xterm with different permissions,
according to what the platform supports...
