Ok, see the point is, I have _already done this_

> sh MAKEDEV pty0   # 0-31
> sh MAKEDEV pty1   # 32-63
> sh MAKEDEV pty2   # 64-95
> sh MAKEDEV pty3   # 96-127

These are the exact commands I used with `sh MAKEDEV` to create my 256 pty
/dev entries.

So to recap, all 256 /dev files are there, all 256 entries are in
/etc/ttys (and were there by default) and I have:

maxusers        128

and

pseudo-device   pty     128

in my kernel.  And when I create 32 screens with `screen`, nobody else can
login by any method (ssh, telnet, etc.).  (No more PTYs error, etc.)

What am I missing here ?  Please note that this is 4.4-RELEASE - this
doesn't seem to be a problem in 4.5....

thanks,

PT
