Description Zdenek Hurak 2006-06-20 00:30:07 UTC

/dev/ttySx (where x is 0,1,2 or 3) is a symbolic link to /dev/tts/x. But /dev/tts/x is a symbolic link to /dev/ttySx.

===================================================================
As one of the consequences, I cannot irattach serial port to IrDA:
note-zhurak hurak # irattach /dev/ttyS2
Failed to open device /dev/ttyS2: Too many levels of symbolic links

===================================================================
Details: Portage 2.1 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 i686), 
System uname: 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz
Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14
