Trying to clean up my inbox...

Which distro is this ?

Some old programs were relying on pseudo-tty right in /dev (ptyXX and ttyXX). There
used to have tons of those files in /dev. Now with /dev/pts, pseudo-tty are
'invented' as needed.

So vserver do not have /dev/ptyXX since most application don't care, Also
/dev/pts is virtualised (isolated between vservers, while /dev/ttyXX are not).

So maybe you can update the screen package.

atd seems to work normally here.
