Actually, that is a bit short-sighted in a way, considering that MAKEDEV will be going away when devfs is rolled out. We need some way to handle x number of ptys transparently. Probably just default them to be `network insecure' or somesuch if not found in /etc/ttys. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
