Description Jason Duerstock 2005-07-28 01:09:04 UTC

Description of problem:
kermit bombs when trying to open ssh.  After further analysis, the problem comes up because there is no prototype for ptsname().  It should be included from <stdlib.h> but isn't because _XOPEN_SOURCE isn't #defined.  I'm not sure of the cleanest way to patch this because -D_XOPEN_SOURCE breaks some of the other source when you define it globally.  Another alternative is to make it use ttyname() instead of ptsname() but I'm not sure how to weave the #defines to make that happen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ckermit-8.0.211-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run kermit
2. ssh to localhost
3. wait for smoking ruin
  

Actual Results:  segmentation fault

Expected Results:  successful ssh connection
