| |
Hi, I noticed the following strange behaviour with devfs (patch-v27, kernel 2.1.98). If some program opens /dev/tty (e.g. "cat < /dev/tty") /dev/tty suddenly changes owner/group (to the uid/gid of the program opening the device) and permissions (600). The problem is: all other processes on the system see the _same_ permissions of /dev/tty. Shouldn't that be visible only to the processes with the same controlling terminal?
