chown for the moment, and look at fstab - is there an entry? If not, /etc/init.d/devfs should do the mounting, does it look like this: "devpts /dev/pts 0755 ,gid=5,mode=0620 devpts" ? and what abot /dev/ptmx? does it look like the line from me or is there some root root stuff going on? if the later chown that. -- #163933
