Not if devpts is set up correctly -- or at least, that used to be the
case a couple years ago.  You don't need pt_chown if the kernel is
creating the /dev/pts/* device nodes for you, with the correct ownership
and group and permissions (at least, owned by the user that opened
/dev/ptmx), which is what it has always done with devpts.

If /dev/pts isn't mounted, then that's the correct way to fix this.

pt_chown *should* not be required on Linux.
