Does anyone have anyopinions on how to deal with too many tty entries in /dev? Sifting through thousands of entries is rather painfull and slow. Following the SysV style of things (please no quips here ;^) making a tty directory makes sense. Has anyone done this? If so on what systems how has it worked out? How were backward compatability issues worked out? - Rick
