Out of pty's

[Justin Burke]

Hi All,

Looks like my system is running out of free pty's. There are a bunch of
users on the system running screen, so we are using up a ton of the
ptys. 

How do I find out the limit of ptys on my system? (sysctl doesn't
seem to show anything relevant.) 

How do I increase that value? The pseudo-pty value in the kernel config
has no assigned value (ie. we are using the default).... but what is the
default?


TIA,
Justin
