Recently, I've been getting problems like this:

$ rn
Can't open /dev/tty
$

This only happens when I try to run things from a console window.  Terminals
can run programs just fine.  This also occurrs when I run cpio and a couple
other programs.  Anyone have any clues?  I have been playing around with
device drivers...  Can someone send me a ls -l /dev/tty* /dev/w* so I can
compare the major and minor numbers to confirm that I haven't done any
thing disasterous?

Thanks.
