Bug#806882: libc-bin: unable to set pts permissions (and open a terminal...)



usertags 806882 + serious
thanks

I've been bitten by it too...

Couldn't libc just leave ownership/permission as they are if /dev/pts is a devpts filesystem?

$ grep devpts /etc/fstab
none              /mnt/sid64/dev/pts                 devpts   defaults
0       0
none              /mnt/sid64/home/chernobyl/dev/pts  devpts   defaults
0       0

"defaults" are not correct options. You need "gid=5" at least.

All devpts fstab entries need to have correct options, because all devpts filesystems are shared by default. (You can probably use the "newinstance" option to disable sharing them.)
