I've noticed that my S5R2 system stores the device name in two different styles in the ut_line field of the utmp structure. If the entry is for a user, the basename part of the tty name is stored, for example, tty32. However, for non-user processes, such as gettys and logins, the absolute pathname is stored, for example, /dev/tty32. Is this normal? Mail your responses, if there is enough interest, I'll summarize. -- John F.
