I compile my kernel with CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS and CONFIG_DEVPTS_FS.
I do :
mknod /dev/ptmx c 5 2
chmod 666 /dev/ptmx
mkdir /dev/pts
I add to /etc/fstab :
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
Everything is looking to be good but when I type :
ssh localhost
my console is blocked and I can see in teh logs :
Accepted password for user from ::ffff:127.0.0.1 port 1025 ssh2
error: openpty: No such file or directory
error: session_pty_req: session 0 alloc failure
Does somebody can help, I'm going mad !!!
Thanks a lot
