I recompiled my kernel to add 16 more ptys, ran MAKEDEV and added
entries to /etc/ttys. But people still couldn't rlogin once the
first 16 pseudo-ttys were exhausted, getting a "Out of ptys" error.
In checking this out however, I discovered that telnet would let
you log in (to ttypg for example) while rlogin wouldn't. Then I
thought maybe the new nomenclature was confusing things, since most
Unixes I'd seen went to ttyq0 from ttypf, so I moved ttypg and
ptypg to ttyq0 and ptyq0.
Then things got weird. Rlogin all of a sudden worked, but listed me as
logged into ttypg even though /dev/*typg supposedly no longer existed.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
