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 here is an excerpt from pstat -t: ttyps 0 0 0 512 448 2052 256 0 - 0 0 term ttypt 0 0 0 512 448 2052 256 1 - 0 0 term ttypu 0 0 0 512 448 2052 256 0 - 0 0 term ttypv 0 0 0 512 448 2052 256 0 - 0 0 term ttyq0 0 0 0 512 448 2052 256 0 - 0 0 term ttyq1 0 0 0 512 448 2052 256 0 - 0 0 term ttyq2 0 0 0 512 448 2052 256 0 - 0 0 term ttyq3 0 0 0 512 448 2052 256 0 - 0 0 term ttyq4 0 0 0 512 448 2052 256 0 - 0 0 term ttyq5 0 0 0 512 448 2052 256 0 - 0 0 term ttyq6 0 0 0 512 448 2052 256 1 - 0 0 term ttyq7 0 0 0 512 448 2052 256 0 - 0 0 term ttyq8 0 0 0 512 448 2052 256 0 - 0 0 term ttyq9 0 0 0 512 448 2052 256 0 - 0 0 term ttyqa 0 0 0 512 448 2052 256 0 - 0 0 term 43 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 0 term 44 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 0 term 45 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 0 term 46 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 0 term To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
