How to set current login tty?

[Jerry Jiangwei]

Hi all,

On my system, pa/11.23, the function
pam_get_item(pamh, PAM_TTY, (void **)&terminal)) get NULL for terminal,

I do want to know how to make this function works as expected,

eg, current tty is /dev/pts/4,
the terminal would be `/dev/pts/4' by this function.

Shalom,

Answer: You don't, the system does this. If you start doing this, someone elses session might be assigned the terminal you were assigned.

Thanks,

However, on my system, the terminal is assigned NULL.

I thought it should be assigned some value eg, /dev/pts/4. but it was NULL.

Is it correct?
