Did you adjust this nuimber? Yes, pseudo-device pty 64 is in there right now - I saw somewhere that the limit was 64... But I was wondering if that was true. pseudo-device pty 16 #Pseudo ttys - can go as high as 256 oh, hmm... now it's 256 in LINT but somewhere else I saw 64... that's a joke?! but than is the limit still 256 users that can login via telnet?! (does it matter when I set value's to the maximum?) Paul
