by You might have problems creating new xterms/kterms/eterms/whatever if
you're using devfs; the problem happens because of the saving and restoring
of permissions of devices in /dev/pts. To solve this, add the following 3
lines above the geneirc REGISTER/CHANGE/CREATE rules in the /etc/devfs.conf
file (this sollution is borrowed from another post):
REGISTER ^pts/.* IGNORE
CHANGE ^pts/.* IGNORE
CREATE ^pts/.* IGNORE
