Message-ID: <20000915134425.A60792@brian.sjc.got.net> Reply-To: brian@got.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've recently run into a problem on one of my systems where I have run out of available PTYs. It is a multiuser system, but not a terribly large one. As far as I can tell from reading available documentation the limit for PTYs, as configured in the kernel, is 64. How could this be? I know there are tons of systems out there with a great deal more users than mine. Any information is greatly appreciated. -- Brian Weiss http://www.got.net/~brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
