Hi folks,

after getting the message "rlogind: Out of ptys" by trying to
connect to an DECstation5000-260 running ULTRIX4.3a, I wanted to
increase the number of pseudo-devices from 32 (default) to 48. 

For that reason I made the following entry in the kernel
configuration file:
 
pseudo-device   pty	48

In the /etc/ttys file I appended

ttyr0   none            network
....

and in /dev I created an entry ttyr0 with the mknod
command.

mknod ttyr0 c 20 32
....   ttyr1 ....


I used the mknod command, because MAKEDEV caused  the following
error message:

MAKEDEV: special file(s) for ttyr: 
MAKEDEV: unknown device in: ttyr

Someting must be wrong , because I can't use more than 32 ptys.

What ist wrong?

Another question, some of the ptys in /dev seamed to be free,
what about them, which application occupy them?

Thanks for help,

Max
