One possibility might be running out of pseudo-terminals to support
the login sessions. pty's are created as needed I think, and the
code that handles it is in sys/kern/tty_pty.c. The limits on it
appear to be 256 ptys:
/*
* This function creates and initializes a pts/ptc pair
*
* pts == /dev/tty[pqrsPQRS][0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv]
* ptc == /dev/pty[pqrsPQRS][0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv]
*
* XXX: define and add mapping of upper minor bits to allow more
* than 256 ptys.
*/
I don't know if simply changing the :
static char *names = "pqrsPQRS";
to something longer is all that would be required or if there are
other factors involved.
