You need to mount devpts filesystem at /dev/pts.
pts(4) manpage says:
;; The Linux support for the above (known as Unix98 pty naming) is

Try something like this (_NOT_TESTED_):
$ sudo mount -t devpts -o uid=0,gid=5,mode=620 devpts /dev/pts
* gid=5 : gid should specify 'tty' group. 5 is tty group on my
system. Please check /etc/group for tty gid for sure.
* Refer to mount manpage. It has section for "Mount options for
devpts".
Note that I've never had to do it myself. My /etc/fstab on a Sarge
system has this entry:
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
But my lenny box does not have it. I don't know who mounts devpts for
me on lenny (perhaps it's udev but I'm not sure.)
Good luck.
