In my kernel, I have:
maxusers 128
pseudo-device pty 128
In my /dev directory, I have used `sh MAKEDEV` to make all 256 /dev/pty
files. They are all there, and all have correct major/minor numbers. I
know I won't be using all 256 of them, but I just made them all anyway.
In /etc/ptys, I didn't change anything, because all 256 pty entries are
ALREADY in there:
# Pseudo Terminals
ttyp0 none network
ttyp1 none network
...
ttySu none network
ttySv none network
So those are all there.
I have used `sysctl -a | grep maxuser` to verify that maxusers is indeed
128.
BUT - if I log on via ssh and start screen, and start 31 new screen
windows, then nobody else can log on to the system - I cannot create any
more screen windows AND nobody else can ssh in - the machine has run out
of ptys.
I use `fstat` to inquire, and I am maxed out at exactly 32 ptys.
SO THE question is, why am I stuck at 32 ptys ? I have done it all -
everything that is in any doc or news post, and everything I was told to
do here and on -hackers, and yet I am still stuck at 32 !!!
Please tell me the secret lore for getting more than 32 ptys in
4.4-RELEASE.
thanks,
PT
