[PATCH] ttyname.c Re: [uClibc]tinylogin vs uclibc problems

[Danny Lepage]

Hi there.

It seems that uclibc ttyname() have some problem when we are not using
devfs or devpts and stdin,stdout and stderr are links to
/proc/self/fd/(0,1,2).

In this case, ttyname returns "stdin" instead of the ttyname.

The include patch fixed it. It modifies __check_dir_for_tty_match() to
use lstat instead of stat so that it won't return "softlinks" as tty
name, only the "real name" of a char device.

Regards,

Danny
