The config compalints is you define more that 64 pty's - but does it mean that only 64 ptys can be used ? I tried to look at the telnetd 's code , but didn't find any limits ( when it obtains the master pty , it checks out more that 64 ptys ). So are there any limits in the kernel itself ? The system is FreeBSD 2.1Development ( the kernel from previous SNAP , the telnetd - from 0210 SNAP). SY RK
