[LTP] [PATCH 2/3] ltp/pounder: Don't let the testing log output to /dev/tty

[Li Wang <liwang@redhat.com>]

During the pounder21 test, it gives many errors like:

./pounder: line 262: /dev/tty: No such device or address
./pounder: line 263: /dev/tty: No such device or address

After google '/dev/tty', got this description:

/dev/tty is the controlling terminal for the current process, if there is such a terminal.
Do ps -a and look for /dev/tty. If it doesn't appear then that process doesn't have a
controlling terminal.  It is quite normal for there to be no controlling terminal. So if
there is no device associated with it then the kernel will just ignore anything you send
to that file. It only cares if it has attached a device (possibly pseudo) to that node. If
it does care, and echoing is on, then anything you send to the (special) file will be echoed.

The second part may be related to the login shell. Check in /etc/passwd and make sure that
you really do start bash for the user you are logging in as. Using /bin/sh instead is a likely cause.
So do grep username /etc/passwd and look for the path to the program that is launched at the end of
the text line. If its /bin/sh then you have the wrong shell. What you should have is /bin/bash.
