Probably not enough pseudo terminals in /dev and/or in your kernel. Do a # cd /dev # MAKEDEV pty1 This will create 32 (or 16 depending on the version of your FreeBSD) additional pseudo terminals in you /dev directory. If you have enough special files (/dev/ptyp? and /dev/ttyp?) you should increase the number of pseudo terminals your kernel is supporting. Change the pseudo-device pty 16 line in your kernel configuration file to pseudo-device pty 32 Wolfgang
