I wonder if I added my devpts fstab entry (if as you say it wasn't an |
| 13 |
automated add) some time ago, when there was some security related hubbub |
| 14 |
over it, as significantly, my fstab entry has nosuid, noexec, while the |
| 15 |
default for it in /etc/init.d/devfs does not. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
My fstab devpts entry also has noauto, but that's likely simply due to it |
| 18 |
being an fstab entry... |

Regardless, that's at least two gentooers with installations dating from |
| 21 |
the early 00s that have reported having the (GID-less) entry in fstab |
| 22 |
now, so I strongly suspect it's going to affect more users, at least long- |
| 23 |
time users, than you thought. It may in fact affect the majority of |
| 24 |
users from that era... anyone who hasn't manually removed that entry from |
| 25 |
fstab over the years. |

You mention it wasn't in the old baselayout/openrc tarballs. What about |
| 28 |
the early stages? Perhaps that's where it came from? Anyone with 2004.x |
| 29 |
vintage stage tarballs around to check? |
