The /dev/pts directory

To be able to fork pty's, which is used for ssh and VPN sessions, you also need the /dev/pts filesystem in your kernel, which improves security quite a bit. It creates pty device nodes on the fly, with the rights of the actual user.

According to the description on the developer of the devfs, devfs should handle the pts directory. This didn't work for me, so I chose to use the /dev/pts filesystem, and things worked perfectly.
