It's not trivial to strip down a multi-user system to a
limited single-user preconfiguration. :-)

I didn't find any information in "man pts" (yes, it DOES exist!),
and the terminal entries mentioned in /etc/ttys are not of pts
type, there are only tty[pqrs] and tty[PQRS], no pts<number>.

Another thing to mention is that terminals launched in X will
work using the pts infrastructures. Limiting their use could
affect those.

I assume that this file is not intended to control the
pseudo terminals used in SSH / telnet connections.

I've not found a file that does this. Maybe this has more to
do with network configuration (access rights, availability
of connections) than terminals per se...

Sadly I can't provide more information, as your intention is
_very_ strange (in terms of what's widely established today
in SU and MU settings).
