Is there a way to increase the number of ptys beyond 64? I'm currently using several machines to run some expect scripts which will simulate telnet sessions to another host (we are trying to simulate activity on the other host for load testing). I'd like to have more than 64 ptys active at one time (closer to 128 or more) The LINT kernel config file lists a limit of 64 ptys, but the MAKEDEV scripts show that you can make a whole lot more devices than that, up to 256 if I remember correctly. So, why the limit of 64 or is there something special to increase this number? Thanks, Craig huck@nosc.mil
