I have been unable to find any real instructive information on how to increase the total number of tty/pty pairs in /dev. I have an authpf gateway box that requires more than the default 62 terminals for ssh connections. Since both mknod and MAKEDEV are deprecated functions (MAKEDEV doesn't come with and although mknod is available, its use only creates tty's, not pty's) and all the documentation I have found says that devfs 'does everything', nowhere can I see specific instructions as to where or how to increase the default number of pty/tty's in devfs.conf or through the use of devfs.rules.
I would like to set it up to accept at the maximum 256 ssh suthpf connections. Any and all suggestions would be most appreciated.
