Minor annoyance. 8-)
Forgot about /dev once and noticed this...
Here's the commits:
jkh 1999/07/05 01:39:01 PDT
Modified files:
etc/etc.i386 MAKEDEV
Log:
Bump the number of vtys created to compensate for new demands created
by /etc/ttys.
Forgotten by: des
Revision Changes Path
1.200 +2 -2 src/etc/etc.i386/MAKEDEV
And it's predecessor:
des 1999/07/04 08:06:23 PDT
Modified files:
etc/etc.i386 ttys
Log:
Feed the vty monster.
Revision Changes Path
1.4 +7 -2 src/etc/etc.i386/ttys
Why was this change made?
Just cause the monster was hungry?
Well then he's got a surplus as well, since he wants ate^H^H^H eight and
has 12, er 11 (need one don't we). Three for the road then. 8-)
At least MAKEDEV doesn't create all 256 psuedo terminals listed in /etc/ttys.
No complaints, just a wondering.
