Description of problem:
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit mounts /dev/pts, and does so incorrectly:

mount -n -t devpts /dev/pts /dev/pts

[Note no mount options.]

... later on, it does so again, with the -f option:

mount -f /dev/pts

[mount options taken from /etc/fstab.]  On 2.4, this will overmount
the first instance of devpts with a second one, which is a bit
useless.  On 2.6, the latter operation is a noop, so devpts continues
to be mounted with default options only... which is not what you want.

Either umount /dev/pts before mounting it again, mount it correctly
the first time, or pass -o remount to the second instance.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.42-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a 2.6 kernel
2. Check the permissions on /dev/pts/*
3.
    

Actual Results:  /dev/pts/* entries have default permissions, not the
one specified in /etc/fstab (usually "gid=5,mode=620").
