I had no fstab entry for shm in my debian etch (testing) system.
So /dev/shm had wrong permission. I don't now if this is a bug in the
jackd pachage. However, if I do one of these three things I get the
right permission so jack can start from normal user:

1) Add to fstab:
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0

2) manually mont shm with:
# mount -t tmpfs shm /dev/shm

3) change the permissions:
# chomd a+rwx /dev/shm

So use 1) for now (as suggested by Mark previously). Is this the best
solution on debian? (Not that I don't trust Mark, but only to ask if
debian has a specific behaviour here).

[OT]
I don't have a devpts entry in fstab, should debian must have one?
(infact I currently have to manually mount devpts to open a subshell,
for example CRTL+O in mc).

Thanks again.
