Unable to get pty

[Edward Alfert_2]

Yes, John brings up an important point...

just because you change the values in the kernel for the 3 type of ptys that doesn't create the dev files. You have to:

#insf -evd ptys -n (number in kernel)
#insf -evd ptym -n (number in kernel)
#insf -evd pts -n (number in kernel)

John/Edward,

I did the 'insf' command with the e,v,d and n options (with the values set in the kernel) and so far it looks like it's working fine. I was able to open more than five different windows (which I could not do before) without the error. I'll monitor this for a few days and post back to let you know the status. Thanks again for everything.
