The /dev/MAKEDEV script can make these devices for you. Just type cd /dev sh MAKEDEV ptyX where `X' is a number in the range 0-7, corresponding to the set of 32 tty/pty nodes you wish to create: 0 ttyp0-ttypv, ptyp0-ptypv 1 ttyq0-ttyqv, ptyq0-ptyqv 2 ttyr0-ttyrv, ptyr0-ptyrv etc You may also need to add corresponding entries to /etc/ttys, if they are not present already.
