  | Yeah, as you see it's the default. I don't remember the details any

In ancient times (well before the 90's, and without system version variation)
it was certainly true that opening a tty by a process with no controlling
tty would cause that tty to become the controlling tty.

Until just recently (ie: this week) I had no idea that had changed.

Oh yes, now I see it ... I did look the other day, and totally missed
