[Clfs-support] [blfs-support] bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device

[Pierre Lorenzon]

Hi 

Sorry but since I cannot determine if emacs could be ""guilty""
I post on the emacs mailing list as well.

I recall the problem. Sorry for those who already heard about it.

M-x shell functions perfectly for root and produces the error
message in the subject of this mail for any other user.

1. Everyone has only the /etc/profile has bash startup file.

2. env set shopt after M-x shell give the same result for root
and the users.


I suspect that some file or device has not the right permission
but I cannot determine what. /dev/tty is rw for anybody, as
well as /dev/ptmx. 

When root launches M-x shell something appears in /dev/pts but
not when a user do.

Regards 

Pierre
