I did this: # ls -ld /dev/ptmx /dev/pts/ crw-rw---- 1 root tty 5, 2 Apr 29 16:59 /dev/ptmx drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 29 13:47 /dev/pts/ # chmod o+rw /dev/ptmx # ls -ld /dev/ptmx /dev/pts/ crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 2 Apr 29 16:59 /dev/ptmx drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 29 13:47 /dev/pts/ And now I can get an terminal. Is it ok what I did? _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
