IF it is in the common config files, and if NetBSD users make the
connection between a strange error message and the ptyfs. Matlab, for one,
needs a ptyfs mount - this might make an FAQ for 3.0 that could be avoided.

I've been running some netbsd-3 lab machines with ptyfs mount for a few
days now, and have seen no related problems, yet.
