Description of problem: The standard usage of the mkiss KISS multiplexer is to attach the multipexed side to a real serial interface and the demultiplexed streams to pty/tty pairs: mkiss -s 19200 /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ptyp0 /dev/ptyp1 Now Fedora does not support BSD style pseudo-terminals anymore, only Unix98 style pseudoterminals are supported. Running mkiss with: mkiss -s 19200 /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ptmx /dev/ptmx creates the slave devices /dev/pts/1 and /dev/pts/2, they are however not usable (opening them returns EIO on both the slave and the master side), because they are not unlocked. unlockpt needs to be called on the master filedescriptor. I used the attached patch to work around the problem Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ax25-tools-0.0.8-2.fc9.i386 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: see above
