Buchanan" X-Sender: brian@smarter.than.nu To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Increasing the pty limit Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I like to open lots of xterms, but I've found that once I have 16 ptys in use, I can't spawn any more. I've rebuilt my kernel with: pseudo-device pty 32 And I know I have enough pty device entries in /dev, but I still run into the 16-pty limit. How can I fix this?
