I have a DECsystem 5400 running Ultrix 4.1. We have installed the 65+ capicity upgrade. I created 64 pty's and tty's with /dev/MAKEDEV, and then added them to /etc/ttys and then did a kill -HUP 1 to make init read the changes to /etc/ttys. For some unknown reason the system will only use the firs 32 pty's, that is pty/tty p* and pty/ttyq* then rlogin will fail with the message: rlogind: Out of ptys. and telnet fails with the message: telnetd: All network ports in use. The MicroVax // running Ultrix 4.1 and the same capicity upgrade will let me use as may pty's as I want, unfortunatly it does not have the CPU power of the 5400. has any body else ran into this? any suggestions to fix it? Thanks for the assistance. Matt -- Matthew B. Brookover Computing and Information Resources University of Denver mbrookov@diana.cair.du.edu
