Hi Recently, helping a friend setup a shellserver, i noticed some kind of limit on the number of open ttys. I count 32 open ttys by remote users before users start getting locked out. Any user trying to login after "ls -la /dev/tty* | grep -v wheel | wc -l" starts returning 32 get the following message along with a distorted terminal that is completly locked. "Warning: no access to tty (Bad file descriptor)." There are random users using ttys, some two ttys and others maybe more but it's always 32 open. I almost wanted to post this on hackers because i've searched the net like a maniac without answers and no one on irc could answer me. I've also tried searching through the src/sys for anything defined to 32. -- Med vänliga hälsningar Stefan Midjich aka nocturnal [Swehack] http://swehack.se
