Date: Sun 30-Jan-1989 20:05:27 From: Unknown Subject: Who owns my tty? When I log into my NeXT (on console), all terminal windows I call up (via Terminal) are owned by root.tty with mode 666. Because they are owned by root and me, things like "biff" and "mesg" don't work. If I remotely log in from another machine, terminals are owned by gil.tty with mode 620, which is as things should be. Is there any explanation/fix for this? One other thing, about when I log in remotely. When I type ^D, I get a listing of the current directory (as if I had typed "ls<CR>"). This happens regardless of whether or not I have ignoreeof set in that shell. What kind of feature is this? - Gil Neiger >From: hess@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu (Caleb Hess)

It's been pointed out to me that this is part of the C-shell's file name completion feature. When I rlogin to my NeXT, the shell I get always acts as if the shell variable "filec" is set, whether or not it is. In addition, it will interpret ^D as a request for file name completion even at the beginning of a line. In shells I get directly through executing "Terminal", file name completion is accomplished only if "filec" is set, and never at the beginning of a line. - Gil Neiger >From: kean@mist.cs.orst.edu (Kean Stump)

A ^D lists the current directory, a net^D lists all files in the current directory that start with net, and so on. The csh(1) man page covers this in good detail (on my 4.3 machine; don't have my cube yet, so I can't say..). kean ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oregon State University Kean Stump Department of Computer Science kean@cs.orst.edu Corvallis, Oregon {tektronix,hp-pcd}!orstcs!kean "OSU CS isn't my employer, so don't take me seriously" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >From: rick@Jessica.stanford.edu (Rick Wong)
