Can you do a job control ?

$ rsh rs6000 "xterm -display rs6000:0.0" ('rs6000' is your hostname.)
and on this xterm,
$ cat
^C
Can you terminate cat ?

 If it works, the problem is a parameter of a struct termio|termios|sgtty for ioctl(open("/dev/pts/??"...)...).
 If not, you have no /dev/tty as control terminal. May be setpgrp()|setsid() fail or no open("/dev/pts/??"...) after setpgrp()|setsid().
 
 Even if it works or not, you should fix your code of main.c of xterm.

 In my case, I have used xterm that posted here by IBM's man(pardon me, I forget his name !). This xterm has a problem that can't get /dev/tty. I fixed it.
 And I have ported kterm(Kanji xterm) and posted this in fj.sources in JUNET.

Thank you for reading my funny english.
