[comp.unix.i386] Virtual Terminals

mlm@cbnewsh.ATT.COM (Mark L. Milliman @ AT&T-Bell Laboratories) (02/03/90)

Try this out on your system and tell me what happens:

	1.  Login on the console as any user except root.
	2.  Create a new virtual terminal.
	3.  /bin/su as root.
	4.  cu another system.
	5.  Close the connection.
	6.  Kill the process as root.
	7.  Close the virtual terminal.
	8.  Try to reopen the virtual terminal.

When I do this on my system cu removes read privys from /dev/vt01, if I am
using virtual terminal #1.  After I leave as root, somehow root still owns
the virtual terminal.  So when I close it as user, I cannot reopen it as
user.

I am running AT&T SVR 3.2u.  Has anyone else seen this problem?
