I already have 32 ptys, and need to add 32 more. I've created the entries in /etc/ttys already, but when I go to /dev and do this: shell [/dev]# sh MAKEDEV ptyq0 I get: bad unit for pty in: ptyq0 The kernel is already set to see 64 ptys. What am I missing here? I checked the man pages on MAKEDEV and mknod, and didn't come up with an answer. BTW, this is FBSD 2.1.7... Thanks, Charles
