Hallo,
The virtual ttys like qtyp0/ttyp0, qtyp1/ttyp1, … in /dev are not available in opensuse 11.0.
Is there any chance to make opensuse 11.0 creating these ttys upon system start like 10.3 does.
Just using “mknod” is creating the ttys but they do not work.
I need this ttys to connect the hamradio program xnet/linuxnet to the kernel ax25.

I am asking for a tip or solution. Where shall I post it, according to your “very polite” opinion Mr. policeman.

BSD-style ptys are obsolete. Unix98 ptys are allocated through /dev/ptmx, spawing /dev/pts/N.
Hallo,
I know that these virtual ttys are obsolete.
But a kiss connection between kernel ax25 and xnet ((X)NET](http://www.swiss-artg.ch/xnet/)) does not work with /dev/ptmx and /dev/pts/N. These programs require a qty?/tty? or a real /dev/ttyS? link.
These obsolete ttys are still available in opensuse 10.3 and I think they are somehow created by udevd. An entry naming these ttys is also available in openSUSE 11.0 /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules but they are no longer created …
Anyway, thank you for reading posting …

Well, too bad. These programs are 5+ years old now and I don’t see a source.
There is a kernel-level Serial KISS driver, would that one work? AX.25 - LinuxHam has more information.
I am using this kernel-level Serial KISS driver to connect xnet to ax25. All tries to use /dev/ptmx failed. Only /dev/pty??-/dev/tty?? or two real serial ports, connected with a null modem cable, are working.
Once you have the source to the xnet program it is easy to fix.
What’s uname -a giving?
These ttys are disabled in the kernel configuration.
So I only had to recompile the current kernel with a few virtual ttys enabled and my problem was solved.
Can U tell what exactly options U turned ON?
