If there are no other shell users then the suggestion that there are to
few tty's seems a bit dubious.  Could be they've been locked up somehow.

If one issues commands as 'ssh -l user host command', does the tty get
used at all?  If not, then it could be useful.  I guess rsh could be used
similarly and might be installed?
