Hi there,

I've configured the kernel to be able to handle about 35 concurrent users
and have also configured 50 pty's in the kernel config file.  I've compiled
and installed this new kernel and made the necesary entries in /dev using
mknod.  Still I have problems with "no more pty's" after 22 concurrent
logins.

FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE, 486DX2/66, 16 megs ram, 100 megs swap on sd0s1b.  The
console isnt used at all, thus no X server.
