Currently this line is set like this:
pseudo-device pty
with no number arguments. Are you sure that I need to do this ? When I
ran my tests on my laptop, I increased maxusers to 128 and made all the
/dev files, but I _did not_ add a number argument to the above line, NOR
did I add anything to /etc/ttys
Also, I did not rebuild screen - but nevertheless I was able to start 6
screens and create about 40 new screens on each of them, for a total of
240 or so screens opened ...
So the question is:
How come on an identical environment (in terms of devices created, and
settings in the kernel) my laptop can create a huge amount of screens -
almost as many as the 256 pty device files in /dev, but on my server,
which is running all sorts of other items like http and ssh and postgres,
blah blah, I run out of ptys prematurely ?
thanks,
PT
