Hi There!
After a lenghtly holiday I am now back to update some of my servers. Please note that an update of udev from 117 to 120 could be dangerous if you cannot access the machine physically.
That's what I did: I have an sshd running on a remote machine. And I am logged in to that machine via ssh. Then, I did a prt-get update udev.
A kill and restart of the udevd could have been sufficient, but I decided to execute /sbin/start_udev which mounts the /dev tmpfs and copies initial device files to /dev/
Well... everything in /dev looks fine afterwards, but now if I try to login to the machine via ssh, ssh complains with a nasty "Server refused to allocate pty"
Have you (re-)mounted /dev/pts? Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@smts.ch Zurich, Switzerland http://jw.smts.ch
