Hello *,

I have on my system Wiesje the virtual consoles, which implies that
my terminal on the serial ports is /dev/tty64 and /dev/tty65. I could
live with the fact that it shows up as /dev/ttyp in the utmp file,
but now that I work a lot on the terminal, and I want to do a 'talk'
to someone elsewhere, my terminal needs to be addressed properly.

Therefore I need to patch login.c (and perhaps other programs?) so that
the complete name (tty?? instead of tty?) gets registered in the utmp
file. Is there anyone who has a ready available cdiff for me, please? That
saves me the work to do it all by myself (I know I am lazy).

Met vriendelijke groeten, Wim `Blue Baron' van Dorst.
