Do you have /dev/pts/ filesystem? I suspect you don't. 22:16:53 pepper:~$ mount /dev/hda3 on / type reiserfs (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) <- THIS ONE [SKIP] Programs started from x terminal use /dev/pts/<number> as their controlling terminal: 8271 pts/0 S 0:00 mutt PTS filesystem should be compiled in kernel; see "Unix98 PTY support" under "Character devices". See also /etc/init.d/devpts.sh and Documentation/devices.txt under Linux source tree. -- Alexey Vyskubov (at home) Hi! I'm a .signature virus! Copy me into your ~/.signature to help me spread!
