From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030630 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"). Additional info:
Please install the 7.43-1 update. :)
Erm, 7.42.2-1.
