Okay, I decided the other day to upgrade my system from 32 ptys to 100
ptys.
I put the appropriate line in my kernel, and reinstalled the new kernel. I
have all the entries in /etc/ttys, and I ran MAKEDEV correctly to add the
devices.
Now, here is the problem I am having. The reason I upped the pty's is
because almost all of the users on the system run screen, and we kept
running out of ptys.
Now, if up to ptypv is filled, I can login, and attain ptyq0-whatever,
however, I cant get them using screen, NOR DO THEY SHOW up in pstat -t
All, I see with pstat -t is the first 32 pty entries. it is rather
puzzling to me.
Now, before I log into ptyq0 there was no entry in it for pstat -t, just
the number 33, etc. very wierd/confusing.
Can someone please tell me why nothing except sshd can even recognize more
than the original 32 ptys? and what maybe I might be doing wrong???
Thanks
Aron
