52
53 because xterm does not touch anything in /dev/pts
54
55 xterm uses /dev/ptmx
56 konsole uses /dev/ptmx and /dev/pts/X
57 now look at the permissions of ptmx and pts/*
58
59 ls -lh /dev/ptmx
60 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 2 2. Jan 01:54 /dev/ptmx
61
62 and for pts I posted above/look at mark's output. Group setting is important.
