I just installed Red Hat 4.0 and I am using the Metro-X server.  

When I start X-Windows there are not any pseudo-ttys available to run xterm, color_xterm,
rvxt, and cmdtool.

The ptys files in /dev look like 

crw-rw-rw-   1 root     tty        4, 176 Jul 17  1994 ptys0
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     tty        4, 177 Jul 17  1994 ptys1
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     tty        4, 178 Jul 17  1994 ptys2
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     tty        4, 179 Jul 17  1994 ptys3
