I did this:
# ls -ld /dev/ptmx /dev/pts/
crw-rw----    1 root     tty        5,   2 Apr 29 16:59 /dev/ptmx
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root            0 Apr 29 13:47 /dev/pts/
# chmod o+rw /dev/ptmx
# ls -ld /dev/ptmx /dev/pts/
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     tty        5,   2 Apr 29 16:59 /dev/ptmx
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root            0 Apr 29 13:47 /dev/pts/

And now I can get an terminal.

Is it ok what I did?
