>Description:
There needs to be a digit string (eg 16) after "pty" in the linee


pseudo-device   pty             # Pseudo-ttys (telnet etc)

in the file /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC

Otherise, a kernel generated from that file, without changing the
pty entry, will not accept telnet (or ssh) connections.

Attempting to telnet to such a machine will fail with the
message

"telnetd: All network ports in use".

Note that this entry is different in 4.1-R and 4.0-R to the 3.x
machines I have looked at.




>How-To-Repeat:
?
/usr/sbin/config GENERIC
cd ../../compile/GENERIC
make depend
make
make install
reboot
telnet localhost		
>Fix:
pseudo-device   pty  16             # Pseudo-ttys (telnet etc)
