Data being reflected back from pty master

[Boltar]

Hi

I've written some code which opens a pty master using the
posix_openpt(), grantpt() and unlockpt() group of functions and then a
child is forked which opens a slave to this master pty. It all seems
to work fine but the problem is that any data I write() to the master
file descriptor in the parent process seems to be reflected back as
well as being sent to the child descriptor and when I do a read() on
the master fd I get the data I just wrote along with any data from the
slave pty. Has anyone come across this sort of behaviour before on
linux?

Thanks for any help

Run "stty -echo" in the child to turn off echoing.
