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.

By default, there are no pty /dev entries in AIX as shipped.  The devices 
command can be used to add them individually.  It is straightforward to use
tee to capture the appropriate input to devices and then use that as standard
input to devices to add a bunch of pty's.  I posted an example a while back and
could repost if there is enought interest.

You need to run the "devices" command. From the main menu, type Add,
Ptydev, Pty, or do it all in one shot from the main menu by typing
"a pt pt" and then confirming the add operation. I would recommend
having at least 8 ptys if you are a serious user.
