Hi, try the following, (I got this from looking at the /dev/MAKEDEV script) Make sure there is an entry in your kernel config file for the max number of pty's you want. pseudo-device pty 32 then in /dev dir do MAKEDEV pty1 This will make the 2nd batch of 16 pty's. (/dev/ptyq0-qf) for the next (3rd) batch of 16......MAKEDEV pty2.... I hope this is right, as I've just finished doing it myself, but will have to wait till later to test out the new kernel.
