The one defined is one with /dev/ptyxx.
I'm not entirely certain that this is the wrong one; I have
Unix98 ptys in /dev/pts (this is what nearly everything uses),
and I have /dev/pty?? as compatibility symlinks to /dev/pty/m[0-9]+.
The nodes in /dev/pty are char devices (major 2), which are the
traditional BSD-style pty's.
> Has the naming convention for pty devices changed?
Unix98 ptys showed up as an option quite some time ago, but
you used to be able to still get BSD-style pty's if you asked
for one.
I imagine that something could be broken with the kernel or devfsd.
Irrespective of that, I'd think that zsh should do the /dev/ptmx
decision at runtime. Would this hurt anything?
