Some?? When I first ran into this, I found the problem deeply rooted in
the way the libc functions dealt with umtp. I tried hacking libc to fix
it, but eventually gave up and just renamed my tty's. What libc version
do you need for extented ut_id's and where do you get the new
/usr/include files? I'd hope they come with the new libc.
I know my libc 4.7.4 systems are ancient...one day I'll upgrade.
