That explains the faulty permissions; since no filesystem was mounted on the (empty) directory /dev/shm it had the default 755 root.root. The fstab entry is perfectly fine. > [OT] > I don't have a devpts entry in fstab, should debian must have one? > (infact I currently have to manually mount devpts to open a subshell, > for example CRTL+O in mc). > [/OT] You (or the debian testing release) seem to have screwed up some /etc files somewhat. As said, Mandrake has the mounting of devpts in rc.sysinit, but I guess you could add that to fstab as well. - Peder
