In article <169@mdcb.UUCP> you write: >How come any attempt to open /dev/tty ( as O_RDWR ) fails with the error >"No such device or address"... This happens while running from a shell. cat ... > /dev/tty gives the same error. In fact, I get this error when trying to run dbx via a terminal and now suspect that it must be related. Note: /dev/tty exists, is owned by root, and has mode rw for all.
