A reservation on usage of "/dev/ptmx" named object...
I recall having heard Alan Cox to say NAY on this before on
basis of this easily breaking iBCS -- Running SCO binaries
on top of iBCS detects /dev/ptmx NAME, and then the libc stuff
statically linked into those binaries ASSUMES existence of
STREAMS in the system. (Need I continue ? Naeh, ask Alan..)
If you could make provisions to have different name for the
PTY-MUX device, all will be well. (But that is in fact user-
space libc issue, not about this facility per se.)
I just hope the Unix98 does not contain STREAMS in it..
