Description From Jeff Forys 2005-04-25 13:38:13

The BSD method of using the TIOCNOTTY ioctl() to disassociate a process from
it's tty is not supported on HP-UX.  On systems like these, where TIOCNOTTY is
not available (not defined), you can use the POSIX setsid() function to create a
new session and set the process group id.

The following patch to "source-trees/replica/rls/server/misc.c" will do this. 
Since it only takes effect when TIOCNOTTY is not defined, this change will not
affect any other platforms.
