Fair enough, but when I create 32 screens, nobody can even ssh or telnet
in anymore, which is the real problem.  So regardless of how many screens
I have, I am running out of PTYs at 32, which is why people cannot telnet
or ssh in.

Is anyone here running 4.4-RELEASE with more than 32 ptys ?  Maybe there
is a bug ?  I have everything configured correctly (/etc/ttys, the /dev
files, maxusers and pty values in kernel...)

thanks.
