Re: cannot get more than 32 PTYs in 4.4-RELEASE
Ok, see the point is, I have _already done this_ > sh MAKEDEV pty0 # 0-31 > sh MAKEDEV pty1 # 32-63 > sh MAKEDEV pty2 # 64-95 > sh MAKEDEV pty3 # 96-127 > sh MAKEDEV pty4 # 128-159 xterm won't recognize by default > sh MAKEDEV pty5 # 160-191 xterm won't recognize by default > sh MAKEDEV pty6 # 192-223 xterm won't recognize by default > sh MAKEDEV pty7 # 224-255 xterm won't recognize by default These are the exact commands I used with `sh MAKEDEV` to create my 256 pty /dev entries. So to recap, all 256 /dev files are there, all 256 entries are in /etc/ttys (and were there by default) and I have: maxusers128 and pseudo-device pty 128 in my kernel. And when I create 32 screens with `screen`, nobody else can login by any method (ssh, telnet, etc.). (No more PTYs error, etc.) What am I missing here ? Please note that this is 4.4-RELEASE - this doesn't seem to be a problem in 4.5 thanks, PT To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

I think if you look at a more recent MAKEDEV, you'll find your answer: pty*) class=`expr $i : 'pty\(.*\)'` case $class in 0) offset=0 name=p;; 1) offset=32 name=q;; 2) offset=64 name=r;; 3) offset=96 name=s;; # Note that xterm (at least) only look at p-s. 4) offset=128 name=P;; 5) offset=160 name=Q;; 6) offset=192 name=R;; 7) offset=224 name=S;; # This still leaves [tuTU]. So: sh MAKEDEV pty0 # 0-31 sh MAKEDEV pty1 # 32-63 sh MAKEDEV pty2 # 64-95 sh MAKEDEV pty3 # 96-127 sh MAKEDEV pty4 # 128-159 xterm won't recognize by default sh MAKEDEV pty5 # 160-191 xterm won't recognize by default sh MAKEDEV pty6 # 192-223 xterm won't recognize by default sh MAKEDEV pty7 # 224-255 xterm won't recognize by default It's fairly trival to patch xterm to look for additional letters.

I believe the above steps are wrong, looking at /dev/MAKEDEV: pty*) class=`expr $i : 'pty\(.*\)'` case $class in 0) offset=0 name=p;; 1) offset=32 name=q;; 2) offset=64 name=r;; 3) offset=96 name=s;; interestingly enough the command "./MAKEDEV pty3" will create (as indicated) heh.. I was assuming too much, something is screwy here. *confused* it actually only created 64 terminals. Added the line: 4) offset=192 name=t;; ~# ./MAKEDEV pty4 && kill -HUP 1 interesting, now I have 96, but can only use 64. Reboot..
