I just created a new user, as I did
"useradd gast -m -G users,audio,wheel -s /bin/bash"

My system runs fine, xfce4 works well as long as i am logged in as root.
I faced problems as I logged in as "gast" and launched xfce4. I starts
normally and looks nice, but i can't start any application. It says:

"xterm: Error 32, errno 2: No such file or directory
Reason: get_pty: not enough ptys"

xterm is definetly in my PATH. Help appreciated,

Timo W.

I could solve the problem, i think it was due to my boot option
gentoo=nodevfs. I installed udev, which is recommended by gentoo for all
kernel 2.6 users. It helped!
