Please see the commit message for svn r233271: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% SVN rev 233271 on 2012-03-21 08:38:42Z by ed Remove pty(4) from our kernel configurations. As of FreeBSD 8, this driver should not be used. Applications that use posix_openpt(2) and openpty(3) use the pts(4) that is built into the kernel unconditionally. If it turns out high profile depend on the pty(4) module anyway, I'd rather get those fixed. So please report any issues to me. The pty(4) module is still available as a kernel module of course, so a simple `kldload pty' can be used to run old-style pseudo-terminals. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% -Ben Kaduk
