Change the number of ptys in your kernel config and rebuild your kernel. 2. Make device nodes for more ptys (I don't remember how many there are by default, but surely no more than 64) with MAKEDEV. 3. Enable them in /etc/ttys (again, I think there are more than 16 in there by default, but surely not much more). Note that MAKEDEV makes pty nodes in groups of 32, so MAKEDEV pty0 makes 32 of them, MAKEDEV pty1 makes 64 of them, etc. Nadav
