HI folkes,

Kindly help to get the terminal.

My first thought...

1) how many current pty/network connections do you have running ? ( who |wc -l)

2) what is your kernel npty and nstrpty set to ? ( kctune|grep pty )

if #2 is 60 and #1 is at or close to 60 then you may need to increase the number of allowed ptys..

kctune npty=100
kctune nstrpty=100

insf -en 100
