It appears so:

$ ll /dev/ptmx                                                             =
                                                  =20
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel  165, 0 Mar 16 15:14 /dev/ptmx
$ ll /dev/pts/                                                             =
                                                  =20
total 0

lki is the name of the account under which I tried to run=20
matlab.
