Hi Matt,

I use glibc 2.2.5 
Mounting /dev/pts is obsolete with devfs (but don't tell me that devfs is
obsolete too ;). 
I tried --disable-openpty and dropbear now tried getpty which also did not
work. I think you should check if devfs is used in code and either use
/dev/pty* or /dev/pty/m*.

After this I manually changed config.h - I undefined HAVE_OPENPTY,
HAVE_PTY_H, HAVE_GETPTYS and defined USE_DEV_PTMX. 
After this all works like a charm. I see /dev/pts/0 and /dev/ptmx is used
now. 

I think u should make it configurable to use ptmx instead of openpty/getpty


Thanks for your great work with dropbear!
Regards,
Togg
