Re: xterm: no available ptys



Depuis les kernels 2.2.x au moins, il y a une nouvelle méthode pour allouer des terminals (tty): Unix98 pty.

Voici un extrait du fichier /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes:


Optional support for Unix98 pty devices has also been added. If you want to use the Unix98 ptys, you should be running at least glibc-2.0.9x, and you must switch completely to Unix98 pty's. The
general procedure for configuring Unix98 pty support is:

- Compile your kernel with CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS and CONFIG_DEVPTS_FS.
- mknod /dev/ptmx c 5 2
  chmod 666 /dev/ptmx
  mkdir /dev/pts
- Add to /etc/fstab:

  none   /dev/pts   devpts   gid=5,mode=620   0 0

(Note:  gid=5 is applicable for RedHat systems for which group "tty" has gid 5.  Adjust according to your distribution.  Use mode=600 if you want "mesg n" to be default.)
- Mount /dev/pts
