With the last two versions of the kernel I've been unable to telnet to my
host (locally or from afar) and xterms fail. All of these things worked
perfectly with previous versions (2.1.101, 2.1.105, ...). There has been
some discussion of this on the list of late, but I don't recall seeing a
specific solution to this problem.

rxvt: can't open pseudo-tty
rxvt: aborting
merentha:~$ xterm -display :0.0
xterm: no available ptys

Hello listers!

I'm having the same problem here with kernel 2.1.123; is this a known problem?
Is the solution already a FAQ?
I was running 2.1.99 quite happily before...
