Hi All,

How can I increase the limit of 64 tty's.
Eg my linux machine can handle 64 incomming telnet's before it says
"telnetd: all network ports in use"

Also, what does this mean in /var/adm/messages :

Apr  8 18:05:37 beast kernel:
Apr  8 18:05:37 beast kernel: UNIX: create: can't allocate buffer
Apr  8 18:05:37 beast last message repeated 63 times
Apr  8 18:05:37 beast kernel: UNIX: cr<6>Apr  8 18:05:37 kernel: UNIX:
create: can't allocate buffer
I had this for pages and pages in messages.

This happened during a time where I was pushing linux to the limit (eg
when I had 64 incomming telnet's). I was suprised how well it stood up to
it. Response time was quite good for all sessions (on a lowly 486dx2/66 16
Meg ram 100 Meg Swap.)

Regards..

Btw: Slackware 3.0 Kernal 1.2.13 (I know old, but stable..)
