[Tiger-devel] [PATCH] The $MESG check in check_root does not work for SuSE.

[Ryan Bradetich]

Hello all,

The current method for checking mesg does not appear to work correctly
on SuSE.  

Here is the error that is produced on SuSE:

# /usr/bin/mesg 2>/tmp/foo | grep "is y"
# cat /tmp/foo
mesg: ttyname: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Applying this patch fixes the problem for me and works on HP-UX, RedHat,
and SuSE.

Thanks,

- Ryan
