It sounds like your udev rules are screwed. My defaults are KERNEL=="pty[pqrstuvwxyzabcdef][0123456789abcdef]",NAME="%k", GROUP="tty",OPTIONS="last_rule" KERNEL=="null",NAME="%k", MODE="0666" Re-emerging udev should fix this, let etc-update/dispatch-conf replace /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules. -- Neil Bothwick "You want us to do WHAT?" - Ancient Chinese wall engineer.
