Hi, Frank - here's an update. I took James's advice and signed up for
an account on the testdrive machine you're using. Here's what I've come
up with:
/bin/csh is the default shell that they assign you when they create the
account. Using "ypchsh", you can change your shell from /bin/csh to
/bin/bash.
Log out - and log back in (now using /bin/bash as the shell), the tty
services now work. I would have to say there might be a fault in the
way csh is trying to make the ioctl() call to the kernel.
