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:

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 ?
