Hello, I have an OpenBSD 3.6 running as a jump-through host, people ssh in and telnet out
users are systraced and they all use an expect script. I get this message when the users exceed the number of ptys (a-z. A-Z,0-9) The system has no more ptys. Ask your system administrator to create more. and at my messages log: Jan 5 11:52:50 bastion2 sshd[5072]: error: openpty: No such file or directory Jan 5 11:52:50 bastion2 sshd[3002]: error: session_pty_req: session 0 alloc failed Jan 5 11:52:53 bastion2 sshd[13660]: error: openpty: No such file or directory Jan 5 11:52:53 bastion2 sshd[11094]: error: session_pty_req: session 0 alloc failed Jan 5 11:53:08 bastion2 sshd[30104]: error: openpty: No such file or directory Jan 5 11:53:08 bastion2 sshd[4272]: error: session_pty_req: session 0 alloc failed Jan 5 11:53:11 bastion2 sshd[21718]: error: openpty: No such file or directory Jan 5 11:53:11 bastion2 sshd[16534]: error: session_pty_req: session 0 alloc failed Jan 5 11:53:20 bastion2 sshd[8419]: error: openpty: No such file or directory Jan 5 11:53:20 bastion2 sshd[25920]: error: session_pty_req: session 0 alloc failed Jan 5 11:53:21 bastion2 sshd[6613]: error: openpty: No such file or directory Jan 5 11:53:21 bastion2 sshd[26402]: error: session_pty_req: session 0 alloc failed What can i do to increase ptys ? googling shows people getting the same messgae and expect/gcc being involved, or is it just a system message ?
