Posted this months ago, but I still haven't found a solution. Time to try again :)
Whenever I start any kind of terminal emulator in X-Windows (things like xterm, gterm, eterm, etc...), it complains that there are no open ptys. Now, the odd thing is that it only does this when I'm not superuser. When I *am* root, everything works fine (i.e, you can see /dev/pts/1, /dev/pts/2, etc, being created & used). I've read a bit about the devpts filesystem, and all my permissions and such on the directory and /etc/fstab seems to be correct, but it still doesn't work.
Any ideas?
