Juli Mallett d3951ad162 Implement POSIX grantpt(3) functionality, and add a pt_chown utility (akin
to Solaris, it is in /usr/libexec) to perform the handing over of tty nodes
to the user being granted the pty.

* pt_chown
* Utility support routine for grantpt(3).
*
* According to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, grantpt(3) changes ownership and
* permission bits of a slave pseudo-terminal device associated with a
* master.
*
* Since doing this if we are not the owner of the slave (which would
* rarely happen) cannot be done by conventional methods, grantpt(3)
* has to rely on this support program, which is setuid root, to change
* the slave's owner, group, and permission mode attributes. It's
* a rather undesirable approach, but Digital Unix and Solaris also seem
* to rely on this approach to pull this off.
*
* This program hangs around long enough to do just these things upon
* its standard input (which is set up by grantpt(3) to be the master's
* descriptor, the one passed to it). The rationale behind this
* approach not allowing somebody to modify ownership of another active
* pseudo terminal is:
*
* 1) This program only operates on its standard input. If STDIN_FILENO
* is not open or is not a pseudo-terminal master, no action is
* taken and the program exits (ptsname() is called for a non-NULL
* return).
* 2) Only one active file description for a pseudo-terminal master
* can exist at a time (attempting to open an active PTY returns with
* EIO - I/O Error). Thus, if the pseudo-terminal is already in
* use by somebody else, it could not have been opened to begin
* with, and thus this program would be useless in such situations.
