Believe me, they don't.

BTW, I assume that what Berkeley and Sun have done (setsid and friends)
is what you're talking about. I would imagine that this fixes the
security problems, but still uses the tty process group to multiplex
terminal input, which probably drives Doug up the wall.

Barry, why didn't you ask Kirk about this when y'all were here last week?
