 Sorry, I exchanged the order of mount parameters here. The correct command
is

        [chroot]# mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts

from inside chroot or

        [main]# mount -o bind /dev/pts /full/path/to/chroot/dev/pts

from outside of it. You do need to be root in any case, of course.

 No, not at all, udev is only useful for dynamic device configuration and
is not used (AFAIK) at all for pseudo TTYs.

 Ah, I didn't know about it, thanks. I just trained myself to use "date
+%F" instead.


 Sorry again for the confusion with mount,
