SuSE Linux: Version 6.3
When using the xxgdb
(Debugger) you receive the following error message:
xxgdb: all ptys in useor you have problems receiving remote data (with
ange-ftp
). This may affect other programs as well.
Because of security reasons the permissions for the device "/dev/pty*
" (Unix98 PTYs) have been restrictively set to "660
". This has an adverse affect on some programs.
You shouldn't use this type of program on crtitcal server-systems (at least for now).
On workstations, with users you can trust, you can set the permissions less restrictively, for example:
chmod 666 /dev/pty*Alternatively, it is possible to set a "
sgid
" for the group "tty
"; however you'll need to repeat this step for every affected program:
chmod g+s $(which xxgdb) chgrp tty $(which xxgdb)
