UUCP lock files are based on the major number of the device containing the entry of the tty special files and the major and minor number of the tty special itself. These numbers are used to create the name of the lock file and the pid of the locking proc is written into this file in ascii or binary. See the example below: $ cat /var/spool/locks/LK.047.071.080 24067 $ ls -l /dev/root brw------- 2 root sys 47, 1 Aug 13 1994 /dev/root $ ls -l /dev/ttyFN01 crw-rw-rw- 1 uucp uucp 71, 80 Jun 4 07:14 /dev/ttyFN01 Both ("dp" and faxgetty) must use the same locking style (ascii or binary) and the same numbers generated from the names dev/ttyb and dev/cuab. Does these two special files have the same major and minor? matthias
