When processes can freely and transparently move around the cluster (at exec time, fork time or during any system call), being able to transparently access your controlling tty is pretty handy. In 2.4 we stack our CFS on top of each node's devfs to give us naming of and access to all devices on all nodes. TBD on how will do this in 2.6.
