After recompiling to rid myself of the telnetd bug, I ended up seeing this exact problem. Basically, if one logs on, then logs off, the next time he logs in he gets the next sequential pty, even if he is the only user on the system. Oddly, right after a reboot, I cannot reproduce this problem, but after a day of uptime, I'm almost out of pty's again, and will have to reboot again before morning, it appears. Is anyone else seeing this problem? any ideas on how to fix, or provide more useful troubleshooting info? the sourced was synched and recompiled just before "Sat Jul 28 21:23:49 EDT 2001" Thanks, Jerry http://www.syslog.org > > I'm not sure if this is your problem, but if you mean 250 _simultaneous_ > users, then you're going to run into the 256 pty hard limit. > > I help run a server which often has more than 200 users logged in, > many of whom run screen. We ran out of pty's long ago. You're > welcome to try out our patches to increase the limit to 2048.
