I'm using 3.2R on an intel box, and the result is that the maximum number of ptys on the system appears to be 32. I've set debug.ttydebug to 10 to no avail, edited /etc/ttys as described both in the man page for ttys and the url above, and nobody can log in to the system when I use X and a screen session or two. I looked at the sources for src/sys/kern/tty_pty.c and saw 2 potential warnings issued on compile if #ptys is 1 or > 256, and no warnings were issued on compile. When I run screen, and try to open too many windows, it says "No more PTYs". When I ssh from a local connection 31 times, nobody else can log in. Any other ideas of where to look would be greatly appreciated. scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
