Bill McBride_2 — Thu, 14 Oct 2004 14:35:28 GMT

getting this telnetd error in syslog:

Any help is appreciated!

The resolution is same as suggested by Robert & sanjay. But checkout the number of pty's configured & the number of users logging into the server, else, you will get "no such device" error in future if actual number of users exceed.
