Subject: autoconf error with /dev/ptmx

I've got a strange problem compiling stunnel-3.15

configure calls the following checks:

AC_CHECK_FILE("/dev/ptmx", AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(HAVE_DEV_PTMX))
AC_CHECK_FILE("/dev/ptc", AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(HAVE_DEV_PTS_AND_PTC))

The first check succeeds(!) and the second fails.

ls -al /dev gives:

total 0
srwxrwxrwx    1 Administ None           15 Jun 19  2000 log
crw-rw-rw-    1 Everyone Everyone  19,   0 Jul 20  2001 null

To fix this all I have to do is delete the HAVE_DEV_PTMX define in Makefile
but I would like to know what is going on.

Thanks for any ideas

John Jarvie
