No available ptys
Ever since upgrading from Slink to Stormix Hail, I have been having
the following problems:
a) When in "X", I am not able to open xterm as a user. As root it is
fine. Other terms like rxvt, kterm etc are working fine as user.
The error message I receive is "xterm: no available ptys".
b) I seem to lose my personal preferences in .profile while in "X" as
an user, whereas on console mode everything is fine.
c) I cannot run the "script" program as user. As root there are no
problems. The error message I get is "openpty failed". This happens
in "X" as well as in console mode.
Any clues in this regard ?
TIA
