On debian sarge /dev/shm is mounted by /etc/init.d/mountvirtfs

I have no /dev/shm entry in /etc/fstab and /dev/shm looks like this:
eric@audiobox:~$ ls -la /dev/shm/

I don't have an etch system handy to check, but would expect it to be
the same there.

In Mandrake /dev/shm is mounted by
/etc/rc.sysinit :
mount -n -t tmpfs none /dev/shm
after it has mounted devpts.
I guess you could have it mounted either way (but not both).
Do you have a fstab entry and if so, what does it look like?
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).
