Now I just feel stupid, thanks for the suggestion. The weird thing is that on all my Debian boxes, devpts get's mounted automatically, although there is no line for it in their /etc/fstab. Only on Xen domU's running Debian, it's not mounted automatically. But I guess I should just add it to fstab...

The problem was that /dev/pts didn't exist, which caused the mount of devpts to fail. Maybe this is because I'm not running udev inside the domU's, but that is something I would like to avoid anyway. The domU's have been installed with xen-create-image (xen-tools 2.8-2), debootstrap method. Maybe one of these packages can be fixed so that /dev/pts will be created during the installation of a domU...

Bastian The machine were I reported this problem from, is running Debian Etch + Xen. Everything is installed from packages from the Etch repository, no self-built packages, etc. In the dom0, there doesn't seem to be a problem with PTY's, eg. Unix PTY's are used. Output of who on dom0 (hosts/usernames hidden ***): titanium ~ # who *** pts/32007-01-23 15:10 (***) *** pts/62006-12-19 00:51 (***) On the domU's however, it seems that legacy PTY's are used, causing ugly problems when all of them are in use: - inability to login through SSH - inability to create new screen windows - ... Output of who on a domU (hosts/usernames hidden ***): *** ttyp12006-12-19 00:45 (***:S.0) *** ttyp22006-12-19 00:45 (***:S.1) *** ttyp32006-12-22 09:16 (***:S.2) *** ttyp42006-12-19 00:51 (***:S.3) *** ttypc2007-01-19 14:43 (***:S.0) *** ttypd2007-01-19 14:45 (***:S.1) *** ttyp52007-01-23 15:47 (***) If nobody wants to use legacy PTY's anymore, then something must be changed to make Xen domU's use Unix PTY's by default instead of legacy ones. If that is not possible, CONFIG_LEGACY_PTY_COUNT=16 *will* cause problems for people who use Xen, and it should be increased either way. Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to make the domU's use Unix PTY's instead of legacy PTY's. I searched for anything related to Xen and Unix PTY, but I wasn't able to find anything useful yet. Maybe you know a solution... If not, this issue should be investigated further, and this bug reopened and renamed, IMHO. Thanks Stijn
