I don't think so. /dev/pts is needed only when the system is read to let the people in from the outside. System V IPC might be needed at the very early stage of startup - even before the init.d scripts are ran. I think it could go to /etc/init.d/rcS - so that it's a third thing done after init executes the script. But, isn't it better to put it once in the /etc/fstab and then forget about it? Even more so if you think that many people won't even _know_ that shmfs exists at the point they install the new kernel! marek
