Hi all:

i have been looking at the devpts entry in /etc/mtab
for the distros which provide LiveCDs.

Here are the two variations that i saw.

 devpts   rw,nosuid,noexec
 devpts   rw,mode=0620,gid=5

What are the assumptions that go in to decide which
entry should be made ?

gid=5 typically means tty and so a 'noexec' entry
would that the user is locked out ?

Anybody looked at this aspect, please share your
thoughts or observations.


thanks
Saifi.
