yes milind, 

the lines ARE there- actually, by the time i got your mail, i
had already rebooted :( my m/c- and felt verry bad- (i had to force reboot
the first time ever!) and now it works fine.

now tell me, what do these lines stand for? i understand that /dev/pts is
a pseudo file system (like proc)- something to do with ports- certainly-
but what? please enlighten me
