I attenmpted to run MAKEDEV and got the following: [root@thorazine]/dev {3:33pm}# ./MAKEDEV local ./MAKEDEV: arith: syntax error: "" [root@thorazine]/dev {3:33pm}# 1;2c I get the same error whenever I try to make anything else (like "speaker"). Any ideas what's going wrong and how I might make sure I have enough ptys (the machine is barely doing anhything at all - -can;t imagine why it's running out). -Amir -- / \ Official pace car of the apocalypse. | Amir Y.
