           Summary: chownpty failed for device /dev/pts/6::/dev/pts/6.
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.2.3
          Platform: RedHat RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: federe000001 at inwind.it


Version:           1.2.3 (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
OS:          Linux

Starting Kate under Konsole I get the following messages:
konsole: cannot chown /dev/pts/6.
Reason: Operation not permitted
konsole_grantpty not installed root-suid
konsole: chownpty failed for device /dev/pts/6::/dev/pts/6.
       : This means the session can be eavesdroped.
       : Make sure konsole_grantpty is installed in
       : /usr/bin/ and setuid root.

The number after /dev/pts/ can be another.

It seems there is no other malfunction.

Bye. Luca
