pts vs. ttyp

Jim Leedham — Thu, 05 Apr 2001 16:23:29 GMT

I have posted this as a follow on question elsewhere, but thought I would ask it as a new question too.

When you use rlogin, to connect to a 10.20 system the device used is a pts, but when you use telnet it will be ttyp.

But on hp-ux 11.X it will be pts in both cases.

Is there a way in 11.x to have a telnet connection appear to an application to be coming in on a ttyp?

In moving to an L2000 with 11.0, an application that was in use on 10.20 will now only run from the console. It is the only connection that now comes in as a ttyp.

recommendations please on how to fix this.

Thanks

I tried setting-up a "otelnetd" service using port 2300 on an 11.0 system and the 10.20 telnetd, but this didn't work. You might try locating an OpenSource telnetd implementation and building it as needed.

Two programs that still use tty's are xterm and hpterm.

The only other option I can think of is to port the application to use the Streams devices.

The software vendor had a patch that did the trick. Thanks for the advice.
