I'm running out of PTYs on my authpf firewall.
Simply, more than 992 (max pty limit) users are trying to log in
simultaneously.

In theory I could disable (in authpf.c) checking whether or not session 
has been successfully allocated a pty, and force clients not to allocate
a pty when connecting.
But I suppose it was made for a reason --  could some kind soul please
tell me what side-effects disabling this would have ?

Is it at all possible to have more than 992 simultaneous authpf users ?
