guess what that means:
> Reason: Operation not permitted
> konsole_grantpty not installed root-suid
given that you used redhat packages, they are probably to blame.
otherwise the problem would have been that "make install" was not done as root.

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
