Hi!

What's the difference between pts and "tty?"?

On some of my machines my users get eg pts/234 and on other machines q8.
If I type "w" on both machines:

Node A
User tty
robdon pts/102
rensko pts/101
sorlil pts/33

Node B
User tty
sorlil p1
sorlil p2
klaerl p4

I prefer Node A because it seams as if pts can be generated dynamically (in
/dev/pts directory) but you have to create ttys (eg MAKEDEV pty_3).
Both systems are Tru64 v4.0F.
