tldp's HOWTO explains pseudo-terminal is a set of pty/tty.

chmod 666 /dev/ptyp*
chmod 666 /dev/ttyp*

Makes these devices readable/writeable by everyone.

BL3 had it right already.  BL2 now works for user with rxvt and 'screen'.

splitvt:
Can't initialize screen:  Terminal type must be set to vt100.

write permissions on 'vt100' for user did not help.
It works for root.
