The devpts entry in /etc/fstab created by Fedora 11 installer is devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 The correct one should be devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 Otherwise, I got # expect -c "spawn ls" The system has no more ptys. Ask your system administrator to create more.
Thanks for report - however not problem of setup (anaconda is writing there) and duplicate. Reassigning and closing. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 506219 ***
