For various reasons, in 4.x, I have been creating all possible pty /dev
nodes ...
# pwd
/dev
# ls *pty* | wc -l
256
So far so good...now I am wondering how to do this in 5.x, what with the
devfs and all. Basically the number of interactive users that log into
this system means I need to have all the possible ptys ...
What should my strategy be ?
BTW, I noticed that in my kernel config file I can no longer set:
device pty 256
I have to just set:
device pty
as I get an error if I put the number in place ... also I have set
maxusers to 512 ... any new toggles I should know of to be able to use max
ptys on the system, or can I just follow whatever directions I hope to
receive regarding creating the devices ?
thanks!
