Permissions look like:

crw-rw----    1 root     tty        2, 157 Apr 25 18:39 /dev/ptyyd
crw-rw----    1 root     tty        2, 158 Apr 25 18:39 /dev/ptyye
crw-rw----    1 root     tty        2, 159 Apr 25 18:39 /dev/ptyyf

xterm:

davidw@coosbay:~$ ls -l `which xterm`
-rwxr-sr-x    1 root     utmp       248984 Mar 18 06:42 /usr/bin/X11/xterm


FS mounts:

/dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
