chown for the moment, and look at fstab - is there an entry? If not, 
/etc/init.d/devfs should do the mounting, does it look like this:
                "devpts /dev/pts 0755 ,gid=5,mode=0620 devpts" 
?

and what abot /dev/ptmx?
does it look like the line from me or is there some root root stuff going on? 
if the later chown that.
