Re: xterm complains about "Cannot chmod /dev/ttyp3 to 666 currently 620: Operation not permitted"

:when xterm is closed, it prints:
:
:Cannot chmod /dev/ttyp3 to 666 currently 620: Operation not permitted
:Cannot chmod /dev/ptyp3 to 666 currently 600: Operation not permitted
:
:I don't know how to tell it to stop chowning it, but I think this would 
:be the correct solution.

    Not a bug, other then in xterm itself.  It is trying to chmod
    the pty after it has closed it.  Once the pty is closed xterm
    no longer has any rights to it.

    DEVFS does all the chmod/chown work anyway, so it is harmless.
