Hack the kernel. Sorry, I'm a little sarcastic today. If you have system sorces installed, edit /usr/src/sys/kern/tty_pty.c at line 98. It says: #define MAXUNITS (8 * 32) Try changing the 8 to 9, or whatever, and recompile your kernel. I highly suggest you use a test platform if you plan to do this. There is a chance it will screw everything up (.1%), and a chance it won't help. Also, make sure you have enough /dev entries. DISCLAIMER: I do not guarantee anything. AS said above, it could screw everything. Don't blame me. I've warned you. > > Thanks, > > Your's Sincerely, > > TangXiaosheng 1998.6.3 > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- Dima Dorfman (dima@zwb.net) "640k ought to be enough for anybody." - Bill Gates, 1981 Micro$oft Sucks!
