ptys suddenly missing with udev
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi there,
I have a Debian unstable system with kernel 2.6.8.1 and udev running and
until about 2 weeks ago everything was fine.
Then, after running 'apt-get upgrade' one day, I was no longer able to
login the the box anymore. Within X I can not open any terminals and I can
not login to the box using ssh.
All I get in /var/log/auth.log are these messages:
sshd: Accepted publickey for <user> from ...
sshd: (pam_unix) session opened for user <user> by (uid=0)
sshd: error: openpty: No such file or directory
sshd: error: session_pty_req: session 0 alloc failed
Somehow the directory /dev/pts seems to be missing but I am not sure when
udev actually is supposed to create this directory. There is an entry in
/etc/udev/links.conf though.
What could be wrong with udev?
Any hints or ideas where to look would be very welcome!
TIA,
Harry
