The thing is, you normally don't run udev inside a vserver, because you don't
have CAP_MKNOD...
the problem with /dev/pts entries not appearing on vserver ... enter is that
the vserver prorcess only migrates to the context and replaces itself with
bash, so there is no login process and no terminal devices are created by
devpts filesystem (in contrary to the ssh attempt)...
i don't know a solution for this atm, but if anyone can help, i'd appreciate
it
