How come any attempt to open /dev/tty ( as O_RDWR ) fails with the error "No such device or address". The system does have a character device named tty with major 2, minor 0, and rw permission for all. SunOS 4.0 / 3-60s and 3-50s. [[ Perhaps the process doing the open has no control terminal? Is it a "daemon" or are you running it straight from a shell? Does "cat file >/dev/tty" work? --wnl ]]
