You need to increase the pseudo tty's on your system. By default the driver is installed, but what it looks like is you've run out of resources. This is how I would fix this.

# cd /stand/build
# /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system
# vi system
if not included add these items and values toward the bottom of the file.

npty 512
nstrtel 512
nstrpty 512

Save the file

# mk_kernel -s system (generates a new kernel)
# kmupdate
Reboot your system
# cd /
# shutdown -r -y now

After the reboot, run the following commands to generate the new pty's

# cd /dev
# insf â d pty â s 1024 â e â v
# insf â d ptm â s 1024 â e â v
# insf -d telm â s 1024 â e â v
# insf -d tels â s 1024 â e -v

I am assuming that the command

Hi Michael,
Thanx.
I have changed the kernel configuration. But as users are connected to the system I need some time to reboot the system. Can you please re-type the insf commands once more as those are not properly copied.

Thanx onec more.
