We are running X11R4 and OpenWindows on the same Sun3 and Sun4's. We find that sometimes after running X, when we start to run OpenWindows, some of the cmdtools or shelltools go 'runaway'. As best as we have been able to track down, the problem has to do with the permissions that are set by xterm. Xterm checks to see if the group tty exists, and if it does, it sets the permissions on the tty file to 600. If the group tty does not exist, then the permissions are set to 622. Why? What harm is there in removing the group tty? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Joe Waddington joe@bnr.ca Bell Northern Research
