I'm running Redhat 5.2 w/ kernel 2.1.131+ac13, done the following:
- Compiled my kernel with CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS and CONFIG_DEVPTS_FS.
- mknod /dev/ptmx c 5 2
- chmod 666 /dev/ptmx
- mkdir /dev/pts
- Added the following to /etc/fstab:
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
Major/minor nums of /dev/tty* and /dev/pty* are:
root@7:57pm:~# ls -l /dev/tty*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 0 May 5 1998 /dev/tty
crw------- 1 arslanm staff 4, 0 May 5 1998 /dev/tty0
crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 1 Dec 23 17:57 /dev/tty1
crw------- 1 arslanm staff 4, 10 Sep 11 04:13 /dev/tty10
crw------- 1 root tty 4, 11 Sep 11 04:13 /dev/tty11
crw------- 1 root tty 4, 12 Sep 11 04:13 /dev/tty12
...
root@7:57pm:~# ls -l /dev/pty*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 2, 176 May 5 1998 /dev/ptya0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 2, 177 May 5 1998 /dev/ptya1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 2, 178 May 5 1998 /dev/ptya2
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 2, 179 May 5 1998 /dev/ptya3
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 2, 180 May 5 1998 /dev/ptya4
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 2, 181 May 5 1998 /dev/ptya5
But still nothing happened,
Did I miss anything ??
In Documentation/Changes it says:
If you want to use the Unix98 ptys, you should be running at least
glibc-2.0.9x, and you must switch completely to Unix98 pty's.
How can I "completely" switch to Unix98 pty's ?

PS: If I figure this out, I'll, may be, ready a FAQ about the subject.
