We have an Indigo XS24 running IRIX 4.0.5F.

Several programmers are writting applications that use /dev/ttyq*
devices for pseudo terminals.  The problem is that whenever a ttyq* is
opened, the ownership of the device is changed to that user.
Afterward, no one else has permission to use that ttyq*.  Is there
anyway I can make these pseudo terminals usable by users yet not
allowing the change in ownership?

Thanks,
