nstrpty

[R Labaza]

Can anyone tell me if the kernel parameter nstrpty can be changed without a kernel rebuild?
Thanks.

As far as I know, NONE of the configurable kernel parameters can be changed without requiring a rebuild of the kernel and a reboot of the machine.

Unfortunately HP hasn't gotten to the point of using the Dynamically Loadable Kernel Modules yet. When those come along, you might have a chance at being able to change a parameter and have it take effect with just a rebuild of that particular DLKM and no reboot.

As it stands now though, you have to rebuild the kernel and reboot the machine.
