Severity is at major because this screws up the /dev tree.

[Comment 2 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) 2004-11-06 20:29:17 UTC]

Why is the name incorrect?  It is different from the pty nodes.

And how come no one has noticed this is a problem yet? :)

Reply to  Greg Kroah-Hartman:

I have no idea why no one noticed this. Actually I only found this because I stumbled upon it while looking for something else.

The name is only different because of the change change I made:

# pty devices
KERNEL="pty[p-za-e][0-9a-f]*", NAME="pty/m%n", SYMLINK="%k"
KERNEL="tty[p-za-e][0-9a-f]*", NAME="tty/s%n", SYMLINK="%k"
                                     ^
                                     |
--------------------------------------

On the bottom line the "p" is changed to a "t"

[Comment 4 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) 2004-11-10 11:19:25 UTC]

Will be fixed in next release.
