From article <82795LXB104@PSUVM>, by LXB104@PSUVM.BITNET (Loren G. Brewster):
- 069-031 You have opened the "/usr/lpp/X/bin" window.
- xterm: out of pty's: No such file or directory
-
- I have tried increasing the pty's in the /etc/master as suggested but for no
- effect as I see.

You have to create pty devices with the '/etc/devices' command.  I've never
touched '/etc/master' myself.  The command within devices is:

add ptydev pts

Then just keep hitting enter until you get back to the main menu.  I have
eight default ptys, and four more with login = true.   You might have to
re-boot the system after adding ptys - I'm not sure about that.  In any case,
the error message means that you have run out of 'login = false' ptys.
