I have the following in my /etc/fstab (as per hpa's suggestion):

none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=0620 1 2

Then I have the following:

avatar@ulf:~[0 ls -l /dev/ptmx
crw-rw-rw- 1 avatar bofh 5, 2 Aug 8 04:37 /dev/ptmx

and:

avatar@ulf:~[0 ls -ld /dev/pts/
drwxr-xr-x 2 avatar bofh 0 Aug 16 13:55 /dev/pts//

So far nothing seems to be using it, I'm on a glibc system but
I think I just don't have anything that uses them yet. (hpa, if
you're reading this, are the perms ok? Should some of the gids
be group tty? (avatar == bofh == 0 in the above cases BTW))
