Description Roman Lehnert 2006-02-23 06:58:38 UTC

When emerging baselayout-lite, you'll get a almost complete baselayout. But apps that require a pty (eg. dropbear or screen) cannot allocate it, because /dev/pts/ and /dev/ptmx is missing. 

/dev/pts should only be an empty folder, where the users can mount devpts.

/dev/ptmx should be a devicefile: cd /dev/; mknod ptmx c 5 2;
