Re: Please don't :/ [PATCH] login: Remove the pt_chown program

Are you sure about the need for pt_chown?  It's specifically for Unix98
PTYs.  The references in glibc are under sysdeps/unix, which is not
implied by GNU/Hurd.  grantpt on GNU/Hurd should return ENOSYS.

Any use of pt_chown on GNU/Hurd would have to come from the outside of
glibc.

Thanks,
